Jewish baby names, in America

[CountDeMoney]

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

I can see little Ariel coming back to school with Daddy's Desert Eagle.

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

Amazing how once people become parents they totally forget the reality of the Darwinian school yard.

Parental weenie.

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

Meh. Depends on where you go to school. When you have classmates named Corvasier and Ja'Ravon, Ari really isn't going to be that big of a deal.

Sweet Jesus.  We're doomed.

That's not even mentioning the little blond-haired, blue-eyed boy named Magerah... after The Jungle Book.*











*Yes, that's what his mother told me.

Ja'Ravon is white.

Bet he's more of an off-white, like eggshell or ecru.  Got curly hair?  Does water bead up on it?

Closest he comes to "urban" is brown hair. Mama's white as I am. Daddy is... toothless and tattooed, if that gives you any indication.

Still undecide on a girl.
