    Whatever your name is, there are cultures out there that would find it weird.
    Also, I hope you also criticize the "weird" names of, say, traditional Black people. Oh hey, and Celtic names… Etc….Surely you find those names just as upsetting as Orthodox Jews'.

    Wow. Okay. I'm one of those pathetic, oppressed Orthodox Jews. I happen to have only a Jewish name, because my parents (Sheldon and Rochelle, both born and raised Orthodox, and who met at a party in SECULAR COLLEGE thankyouverymuch) just didn't see a need. My name was my name and they didn't anticipate my siblings
