HelpRe: new Jewish names on my mind
in reply to a message by Murasaki
I love Tamar! I really like Jewish/Hebrew names, too. My favorite of the moment is Merav. My friend spent a week in Israel and met a woman by that name. I also like Masada, although it is a place name in Caesarea, I think it would be pretty for a girl, especially with the nickname Mazzy.
I'm Catholic, but I have no problem using Jewish names because Christianity is rooted in Judaism. I sing in the choir at my church, and the woman who sits next to me is a convert from Judaism. We talked about this one day -- using Jewish names for Christian kids --because a woman in the choir had a son and named him Abraham. Anyway, the Jewish-to-Catholic convert said her Jewish niece has a son named Sebastian (an early Christian martyr)! So I guess it goes both ways. :-)
