Jewish baby names, in America

[mongers]

Congrats Seigy and Mrs Seigy.   

What about a first name that means 'peace', most ethnic collections of names seem to have one that means that.

Failing that, David seems a good around choice, that's persuming you have any forefathers named so.

edit:
there's lots of versions of this:

AVSALOM (אֲבְשָׁלוֹם): Variant spelling of Hebrew Avshalom, meaning "father of peace." 
AVSHALOM (אֲבְשָׁלוֹם): Contracted form of Hebrew Abiyshalowm, meaning "father of peace."

Let's be fair.  'Urban' culture has ruined lower-class white America.  If I had the choice, I'd have the lot of you reduced to fertilizer.  But then again, most people would be better off dead.

Maximilian Ferdinand, now there's fine name for a lad.

Congrats Siegy. 

[Barrister]

I can only hope not.

My list:

Olivia
Eleanor
Katherine
Elizabeth
Gwenyth

I keep subtly pushing Katherine.  It's my number one with a bullet name.

I like Elizabeth too.

Well, Siegy is immensely proud of his alleged Jewishness, therefore I see nothing wrong with picking David, the greatest of all the Israeli kings and warriors*.
















*After Moshe Dayan, of course.

You all just want his kid to get beat-up.

I want to name our baby Ariel (Lion of G-d), but my wife says Ariel is a female name here in America. How the hell did this happen? How come a manly hebrew name becomes a female name? This is ridicoulus.

Yeah, your kid would get his ass kicked.  Ariel is totally a girls name, because it sounds super-feminine.  It's been that way for the last 300 years or so, thanks to 17th century interpretations of Shakespeare.  Caleb is a hillbilly retard name, but at least it's a boy name.

His ass kicked?
My boy comes from a long line of swordwielders and tribal raiders.
He is going to jump out of the uterus in a fighting stance.

Well that clenches it, your son will be a limp wristed.  Also, your great grandparent's Arab overlords let your ancestors have a sword?

I used to think that "stupid parents give their children weird names" was an urban myth, but it seems to be true every time.

Assimilate, you fucking Arab.

[Martinus]

I have only known one Jew named Ariel, and it was a girl.

My college girlfriend had a female cousin named Ariel, too, come to think of it.

I met a male Ariel once, but he had those funky pigtails and wore a black hat.

Maybe he/she was transitioning?

Ariel Sharon = Chick's name X 2

[Martinus]

BTW, I named my son Gideon.

I find it funny that you people laugh at the blacks for naming their kids Labisha or something, but then end up giving your kids names like this.

[Martinus]

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

Not in the US. another cool name is Raphael. Guess what, that was ruined too. Enter the Ninja Turtles.

Fuck you, turtle hater. They made it cool.

Gideon has a heritage that goes back thousands of years, and is thus exempt from the criticism of modern names like Labisha or Madison. You can say it's an ugly name, but you can't claim it's not really a name at all.

You're smarter than that. Nice try though.

I always thought Marcin was a stupid name.
