Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all connect to Abraham. Abraham wa the father of Jews, his son Ishmael was the father of Muslims, Isaac the father of Christians.

I can give you an example:
My daughter's name is Miriam. I'm Catholic, and I know several other Catholic Miriams. My husband was once at a playground and a Muslim man asked my husband why he gave our daughter a Muslim name. My husband explained that it was from the bible, citing the story of Moses. The man then asked "Are you Jewish?"

Sabbath was used by the Purtians because Christians, too, use the idea of Sabbath. I've often heard Sunday referred to as Sabbath, and several verses in the bible also refer to keeping the Sabbath.

I understand the discomfort that Jews might feel with Christians using names conneted to their faith; based on the amount of persecution; but the faiths are interconnected. The Torah, the Bible, and the Quran are extremely similar. I don't think it's strange at all, nor criminal.
