[Opinions] Re: Israel
It has a nice origin story and sound, but using it in modern times would be too much of a political statement for me. I'm particularly sensitive to this because my NN is a political party.I'd guess the parents were fundamentalist Christians or maybe Jewish and likely chose the name without thinking of politics.Israel Jedidiah
brother Solomon Malachi or Abraham Osher
sister Abigail Noa or Keziah Miriam

You make a valid point. I rather like the name and I am neither of those things. Not particularly religious at all. I just like the way it sounds and that you seldom hear it. I didn't think I thought of it in a political way. But of course it could be seen that way. I may need to re-think this one.
