Re: Zeke and Kai
True, but I never meet Christian children with either of those names. And I work with children (and often Christian children) a lot.

Have you ever met Jewish children with these names then?

Yep. More than one of each, even.

Either way, they're both Biblical names. Ezekiel isn't even Jewish. I'm sure there are Christian children named Malachi & Ezekiel. Upon hearing both names, I don't immediately think "Jewish". I don't think most people would.

Well, they are Hebrew, and upon hearing that many people automatically think Jewish. You are right, and I was aware that they were Biblical - it was just in my experience, I don't meet too many Christian children named them. I'm glad, though, because I really do love them.
