    rationalfrummie:- I couldn’t agree with you enough.

    If not giving a Divine name from Tenach, why not an English name, since I learn Chumash into English with Artscroll, and not Archaic Jiddish.

    For one, most of us notice that “yiddish” comes from the word yid. Thus, if you are intent on giving a jewish name, it makes sense to use a name that is and has been identified as yiddish.

    147,

    What is Jiddish?????

    BTW, if you do want to give a name from Artscroll, because that is how you understand chumaash or whatever you are reading, you would have noted that they do not use the secular versions of the names, they transliterate the names. So it would be just a matter of writing them in an alaphabet you can read rather than in hebrew letters.

    Funny how Yiddish (or german) names were all the rage, yet people look down upon those who give English names.

    nishdaynegesheft – names identified as Jewish. What, like Selig (German), Shprintzy (short for Esperanza, Spanish), Feivish (Greek Phoebus), Wolf (German), Zalman (German)? Thomas is a more Jewish name, at least it’s Loshon Hakodesh (Te’umis – twinned, a nickname commonly given to twins in late 2nd Mikdash times)…

    There are no ‘secular’ versions of biblical names. And the word Yiddish simply comes from the German word Jud, which means Jew. However the Yiddish language itself is actually a mixture of German, Polish, Russian and some Hebrew. If you want to look into it, you will find that the vast majority of the people living in Yiddish speaking communities in Europe in the last few hundred years had both the Hebrew and Yiddish versions (as someone already pointed out) – even the Gedolim of Europe, have a look and you will not find any with simply a Yiddish name (think Shlomo Zalman – Zalman is the same name as Shlomo)

    Are we talking about double names also? Yiscah was Sara’s second name and I’m prettttty sure it’s uncommon…..

    Isn’t Yiscah translated as Jessica? That’s a very ’80s and ’90s name (it was #1 or #2 every year from 1981 to 1997 according to the Social Security Administration; in 2011 is was down to #120).

    OOM: Ganesh is a Hindu idol shaped like a six-legged elephant sometimes depicted with an extra trunk. Your friend’s parents probably didn’t know that, she probably should.

    lol happens to be I know that, and told her so once. But she actually spells her name Gnesha, and pronounces it as such, so it’s not so awkward.

    i think biblical names are the best. Naomi,Sarah Rachel,Leah. Rivka, Miriam, Yocheved…. In my opinion, they’re much more prettier then chashie, mashie, pashie or rashie…….
