[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t do it. Your kids have SUCH Jewish names- this one would feel othered. [/quote] This was my first thought. I wouldn’t use Mary when other siblings have such very Jewish names. My great grandmother was Miriam and called herself Mary in English back when the goal was assimilation. You do have other options. You could choose Meredith with a nickname Meri. There’s also Marion. Miriam could of course be Miri, or Mimi. Other options could be: Ma’ayan Mena Maya Mia Molly Mara Meira Mica [/quote]
