Don't like the names it's paired w/ on the list, but I do like Shoshannah. She may well be taken for Jewish by many because of her name, but that's fine... I get taken Jewish by some based on name and appearance. I think it's kinda cool. Some people just aren't used to it if they haven't spent much time around Jewish circles (or if they have, they may consider it kinda plain or normal like Susan... though I think Shoshannah is far nicer than Susan).

Other ideas. Hmmmm... Pair these on whichever side you think they fit better since in some cases Shoshannah may work better as a mn.

Interestingly enough, there are theories about some Jewish roots in Japan via the silk roads due to some interesting historically cultural parallels.
