[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yael (pronounced Yale) is one of my favorite names.  We aren’t Jewish snd I’m still going to use it.  [/quote]

Pronounced as "Ya- ale" - not Yale. No one will say "Yale."[/quote]

Ive never heard it pronounced as Yale.  That’s really odd.  It’s Yah-ehl.  And yes I’m Jewish.  And I would think it’s odd to use if you are not Jewish;  same as I would think a Jewish person with the name [b]Christina[/b] is odd. [/quote]

We have a family friend who is Jewish and named Christopher. His parents just liked the name and when people pointed it out they just laughed and said they didn't care. [/quote]

I grew up with a Jewish friend name Christopher, and every time it would come up (e.g. I'd come home and tell my Dad that Christopher couldn't come to play because of Hebrew School), my Dad would make a comment.

I also taught with a Jewish woman who wanted to find a P name for her baby.  I suggested Patrick, and she told me it was "too Christian", so she was thinking of Peter or Paul, which are equally Christian in my opinion.  It turned out that she had a girl, and she was named something I now can't remember, that I don't associate with religion like Penelope.  [/quote]
