[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do the Jewish people who think it’s weird feel when people use Irish names? Think: Sinead or Siobhan Rosenblatt. Ok? What about Sinead or Siobhan Jackson...and the Jacksons are black.[/quote]

PP Jewish person who thinks it's weird when non-Jews use Jewish names: I roll my eyes at all the Irish-named non-Irish children. There are just so many of them that at some point I've come to accept: people just like Irish names. It seems like among a certain group of kids born in the 2000s, Irish names are neutral of cultural association.

Funny enough, I have some kids in my life who were born to parents who are a mix of Portuguese, German, Puerto Rican, and Jewish - and all of those kids have very Irish names. What can you do.

If Jewish names headed in that direction - stripped of cultural association or meaning - I'd be weirded out, I think. But, hey, maybe it would also lead to less anti-semitism - and we'd all take that, nu?

What do Irish people - whether from Ireland or just family history - think pf Irish names being so popular?
