Help[Opinions] Zissel and Zane
1. I read somewhere that the Yiddish name Zissel (my mother's name) could be used for both masculine and feminine. Is that correct?
2. I also read that Zane can be a Yiddish name for Samuel. Has anyone ever heard that?

I think that Zissel could be for both sexes, but I've only seen him on girls. More common boy forms would be Suskind, Zusman, Sus...

I think it is a legitimate Jewish name, although it would be good for a boy to have a Hebrew name too. Example: Shmuel Zissel.
I had never heard of Zane as a Yiddish name, but I've just found that: http://www.hebrewletters.com/item.cfm?itemid=3358
I hope it helps!
