[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mary was a common Jewish name for a long time. I have two great aunts with that name. It was often changed to Miriam or Malka.[/quote] This. For all kinds of reasons, it has fallen out of fashion to do this in many pockets of the jewish community. but i know at least 2 multi-generational Jewish Marys. one has a hebrew name miriam and the other malka. we forget, in the not so distant history (um, and even in other parts of the country currently) how important it is to be able to 'pass' as nonjewish.
