I figure that's something you probably get sick of being asked anyway. Her husband is a relatively religious jewish guy and him and his brothers all have hebrew names so I'm actually expecting something along those lines if she doesn't overrule it for some reason.

yeah i've had several friends back home who flirted with some pretty bizarre names but eventually settled on typical ones. i think the weirdest one that stuck was Ophelia which isn't bad just a bit odd for a kid born in 2016.

If the merbabby had been a boy, we were going to name him Beck.

I just googled "popular Jewish names" and this list of Hebrew/Jewish related names popped up, and I actually like most of them:
Girls: Charlotte Ava Elizabeth Sadie Lila Molly Abigail Zara Evie Ellie
Boys: Asher Ezra Matthew Levi Thomas Benjamin Zachary Ethan Elijah Jude
Or are their names much more unique?

I would imagine "lake-in," like "The body is in the bottom of a lake in Wisconsin"

I know a Jewish guy named Yaakov (goes by Jake) whose brothers and sister all have extreeeeeeemely Hebrew names.

Anyone find the title and thesis of that article slightly problematic? I didn't see ethnicity in the data set so I'm not sure why he's assuming this is white folks??

It definitely is but I'm not going to waste my time dragging a pitchfork out for this guy's article on why he thinks baby names are stupid

His name is Ayal and his brother is Matan. I guess a little more unique than that list.

Speaking of weird names I always wondered what the title of the Sponge song "Neenah Menasha" meant. Turns out it's just two towns in Wisconsin.

This thread could also branch off into seperate debates on what's appropriate on baby naming communication. I don't see what good comes out of telling anyone what you're thinking of naming the kid (because everyone has an opinion) but I can understand the impulse. I can not reconcile how people get stuff printed up (like wall ornaments or balloons) with the baby's name before they're born. It just seems like the ultimate in courting bad karma but YMMV

Merbabby didn't have a name until about an hour after she was born. We had a name picked out, then we saw her and were like, "nope, that's not your name."

One of my old bosses would always read gossip websites and get overly dramatic about celebrities who chose awful names for their babies. Her logic was that if anyone's parents ever had to be put in a home, the children should get to decide what they're named there so they can take it back out on their parents if their name was awful. She was a trip.

also most religious jewish people have a hebrew name and a name they use in english that are often not related so "popular jewish names" is a hard thing to search

Theres alot of weird rules to Jewish baby naming as there are weird rules to all jewish things Some of which are totally in conflict with each other. Like a firstborn son is supposed to get the name of his grandfather, except you're also not supposed to name a baby after a living person. I'm sure it made sense in Biblical times when people lived to be 40 and no one had living grandparents, but it's almost impossible now.
