HelpRe: Salome, Sabbath and Odessa /names that feel Jewish but are not used by jews
in reply to a message by EES-rah-el-la (Israella
Admittedly I've only known or heard of two or three Odessas, but they were all Jewish.
Also, I think it would be very strange to name a child 'hello,' so it makes sense to me why Jewish people would not use the name Salome.
To me, Sabbath doesn't seem Jewish. It sounds like a Puritan name.

Really? I thought that Odessa was an ultra-rare name.

It was in the US top 1000 for over 70 years...
I've met one Odessa. She was not Jewish. I guess she might have been born in the 1940s (in the southeastern US).
