Re: Jewish Character Name in TV series
in reply to a message by slbond
Thanks! I used Baruch and Benjamin in two separate preliminary works becuase I was unsure, but now I feel better about the selections I made.
As for his name... it's quite odd, when I saw the name I assumed he was of gentile western European descent. Then I found out he was like Jewish, and I was like "Buh? Irish surname?" I eventually postulated that his father was a gentile and his mother was Jewish, to explain the discrepency, but the fandom doesn't tend to focus on Bridge's origins, so I've never really had a chance to discuss it with anyone.
But thanks again. I'm glad I didn't completely screw up.
