Re: Saul
in reply to a message by Eilis
Lol, I'm probably guilty of Hebrew chic, though I'm generally more drawn to modern Hebrew or yiddish names than purely biblical ones. Anyway, I hope Hebrew names won't become too much of a fad!

It happens. :-D While fads and trends can be a turn off, you like what you like! Making an entire category of names off-limits to yourself is nonsensical in and of itself.
And Saul is pretty great besides. I wouldn't discourage it.

While I'd avoid individual over-popular names I certainly woulnd't ditch an entire category. But I wouldn't use Saul anyway, independently of how faddish or not it might be. It would be way too weird on an Italian child.
