[quote=Anonymous]I am Jewish and wouldn't even recognize Eidel as a Jewish/Yiddish name. Now if you used a Yiddish name I recognized (Raizel, Fraydel, etc) I have to say I would find that pretty weird. Only ultra orthodox Jews use those names nowadays, and it would be obvious to me you weren't an ulta-orthodox Jew, so it wouldn't compute. If you used a name more common among reform/conservative/secular Jews, like Shoshanna or Aviva, I would just assume you were Jewish. If or when I found out you weren't, I would be surprised. Not offended, but surprised. So, I guess my answer is that if it doesn't bother you that Jewish people will assume your daughter is Jewish, then go for it. But also consider that might get annoying for her over the course of a lifetime. [/quote]
