[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting opinions here. I had no idea some people feel so strongly about names.
Cohen, Kohl, etc are just variations of a very European name. Interesting that some small american ethnic group would wonder why why why someone would steal a name for their child that in their mind means a priest an is sacrosant for just one elite group of boys among their tribe[/quote]

OUt of curiosity, what is the very European name that this is a variation of?  I am curious because I have never, ever met someone named Cohen who was not Jewish.  Here in the U.S. or over in Europe.  Where did this European name originate?  Many people here named their kid "Cohen" after a character on the show.  A character who was part Jewish (that is why Cohen was his last name).  Its not a matter of stealing, but for me simply wondering if people actually think about the meaning of a name before naming a child.

Also, enlighten me on how Jews are an "American" ethnic group.  There are Jews all over the world.  I would assume that you would know that with all of your European knowledge. [/quote]
