[Facts] Re: Jewish name Chaim
Hear hear, Genis.Harveykal, I am ashamed in the name (all meanings) of the Jewish people for your inpolite response to Pavlos.Anyway. Here are a few links to early name-bearers of Haim (Chaim).
http://www.sca.org/heraldry/laurel/names/jewish.html
http://home.earthlink.net/~bnahman/ is a begining for several findings. (Did not find it in Sefaradi names although the Hidah, Rabbi Haim Yosef David Azoulai was a bearer of the name. (or perhaps it's Hacham Yosef David and I'm wrong).Yours, and hope you appologize.

Thumbs up Moishe/Pashute!I feel that the next time this "person" posts like this, Mike C. should blackball him. His discourtesy caused me to "spike", and someone I have dealings with caught the backlash. She's okay, thankfully.Phyllis (aka Sidhe Uaine or Gaia Euphoria)

Pavlos,You shouldn't be the one to apologize. That momzer (I should apologize to all true momzers for calling him one, but I want to continue posting on this board [as well as the rest of the Net]) should be. The "spike" didn't backfire, it just...I don't have the words for the terms I need to use. Sorry.Phyllis (aka Sidhe Uaine or Gaia Euphoria)

Ha! Thanks Gaia for teaching me a new word :)Momzer:
[a. late L. mamzer, a Heb. word (mamzer) adopted by the Vulgate in Deut. xxiii. 2 (where it appears with the gloss ‘id est de scorto natus’), and hence frequently used in the Middle Ages.]- A bastard. Also in extended uses as a term of abuse or familiarity.(OED)

Thanks for the kind words folks, but no offense taken really :)
To paraphrase Nanaea, "I've been called worse things by better people" :P
