[quote=Anonymous]I don't think that naming a kid Luke will cause people to flag him as a devout Christian or to flag your family as especially Christian. Is your main concern with a general impression or specifically with the impression the name will make in the Jewish community? Many Jews would raise an eyebrow at a Jewish Luke, but some would not, as evidenced by this thread. If the last name is obviously Jewish, that will probably be enough to identify him to most Jews as potentially Jewish. If your last name is something neutral-sounding like "Brown," then I think Luke Brown will read as presumptively non-Jewish to most Jews. I don't know how much any of this matters to you. [/quote]
