First: David, Isaiah, Elijah, and Nathaniel are more biblical than Jewish.
Second: Plenty of non-Christians use Christian names, plenty of people who haven't an ounce of Irish use Irish names.
Third: You seemed obsessed with a person's bacground - Italian heritage because she's slightly dark complected? My sister is 2/3 Swedish, 1/3 English, and could easily pass for Hispanic. But she most definatly isn't.
I hope to name my children Ezra, Liora, Miriam, Raphael, Jonas, and love other very Hebrew, Yiddish, and Judeo-Spanish names.
