I think you can get away with being named 'Ariel' if you are Jewish right?  :hmm:

Not in public school.

I think we're going with Andrew for a boy.  It would continue with using New Testament names. :showoff:

Still undecide on a girl.  Seigey - if you have any nice Hebrew girl's names I'm all ears.   :)

They will just call him 'Ari', no biggie.

Seigey - if you were some suburban yutz who picked out Ariel "because it sounded nice" your kid would rightly be picked on.

But when your kid says "My family is Sephardi Jewish, my grandad's name was Ariel" most kids will shut up, or the teacher will make them shut up.  This isn't 20-30 years go when we all grew up - today's kids are going to grow up with a whole range of names we were never exposed to.

:lol: Disagree. You give american school kids and the school system too much credit.

Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...
