HelpRe: Moses
in reply to a message by Jagoda
Hi Jagoda !!!!
I prefer Moshe and Zippora as forms of them.
My first thought is Jewish parents.
This is because here in Italy being Catholic the very religious Chrisian parents choose names such Giuseppe, Salvatore, Maria, Addolorata but also more common as Simone, Giovanni, Lucia, Caterina, Michele, Gabriele, Francesco. Names of Saints, Angels or Marian names.
Names from the Old Testament are very very rare or also not used at all. Except of few like Davide or Sara, Susanna that are still popular.
Mosè and Zippora (Italian forms) are a in trouble here. In 2016 only thirteen babies were called Mosè while there are no Zippora at all since 2004.
