[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, if you are still reading, I think you need to consider that your daughter will be her own person and have her own journey toward figuring out her relationship with her Jewish identity. Please don't make it harder on her by forcing her first interaction with Jewish identity to be explaining that her mom "just liked the name Mary" for her entire childhood. [/quote] Another Jewish poster here. This is a good point-- it's worth thinking about how the name you give your child could influence their connection to Judaism and the Jewish community. My husband is not Jewish and our children have his very obviously not Jewish last name. I wanted to give them Jewish first names (biblical and common among U.S Jews) to increase their sense of connection to that portion of their heritage. [/quote]
