[quote=Anonymous]I don't think you can be angry. I have heard this as a name, particularly in African American / inner city, quite frequently - with absolutely zero connections to Judaism. Likely, this family did not know/connect it with the Jewish meaning, and thought it sounded beautiful. It's not disrespectful if they chose it because they had a neighbor or cousin named it and thought it was beautiful. Just as you have freedom of religion, they have freedom to not participate and not to know every single little rule and quirk of every other religion, especially one of multiple lesser known words for a deity.
