[quote=Anonymous]I grew up in a very Jewish area and have always wondered this- why do Jewish people name babies with only the first letter of the person they’re honoring? Like if they’re honoring Myron they only use the letter M. Why not just name the baby Myron? Have people always done this or is it new because they didn’t like the old fashioned or Yiddish names? (I have asked my Jewish friends and they just shrugged)[/quote]
