[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again. I don't strongly feel that the name needs to come from the Torah as some of the posters have mentioned. I know a millions Jews with my name and it's of Greek origin. Same with my husband's and his is Scottish. I don't think our parents really noticed at the time. Maybe because the names were so popular when we were born.

It is weird to me that there are [b]so many Jewish Mathews, Jonathans and Marc[/b]s, but not as many Lukes.

And for the star wars comments, for whatever reason that doesn't bother me. A name will always be associated with something. [/quote]

Definitely don't confuse the New Testament John with the Old Testament Jonathan. The story of Jonathan and his platonic relationship with David is pretty fun but he was definitely Jewish.

Since you are giving the baby the Hebrew name of the beloved family member, perhaps you could do something else for the English first name and use the "L" and Luke for the middle name. I think someone else said use a different first name and the name Lucas. The letter "L" is really tough. We had this problem with the letter "K" for a girl and ended up using the K for the middle name. The family was still really honored that we chose to name after my favorite uncle and we spared DD the trouble of having very limited options that we liked. Tough choices for you. Good luck.[/quote]
