The thing about Sukdeep is that there's not even an acceptable nickname there.  You've got Suk, Deep, or Sukkie, pretty much.

She eventually went by sue, but everyone knew.

Mainly it's the trend of children as accessories that annoys me.

I see it in my sister's Mommy group, the clique that all got preggers and delivered together.  How right you are, man.  They're accessorizes, somewhere in value between the BMW and the Tag Heuer.
it's like the mommy version of the sports dad. Kids got to be "unique" and "special".

Yeah, that's good.

If he feels like he's sticking out he can be Jonathan or even Johnnie. But if he wants to be all Jewish, he can pronounce and spell it all Hebrew style.

Speaking as someone with a weird name, give your kid a normal common fucking name. His name isn't their to make you feel special. You'll spend a week thinking about it, he'll spend a life living with it. David. Go with david. super jewish and normal. win for everyone.

Do you know how many Davids already in my family?

The world shall adapt to Israel, not Israel to the world.

Besides, I'm still considering the idea that having a bully-magnet name might not be a bad idea.
Think of it as teenage combat training.

Incidentally, I think I might have told this story before, but one of my professors was an Indian transplant who married an American.  Long story short, tradition dictated that she use part of her father's name hyphenated with her husband's surname, leading to me having a class taught... by Mrs. John-Holmes. :lol:

How about the first name of Israel?

Always thought Gen Tal had a cool name.
