[Opinions] Re: My thoughts
in reply to a message by Cayden
Speaking of the name Cohen, which I love but would never use because I'm polite and respect Jewish culture and religion, I met a little girl the other day, and her name was Pagan.
Like, I get naming your kid Christian or whatever, but to me, this struck as a Christian family (which they were) using the name of a member of MY religion because they thought it sounded cutesy and trendy.

I feel your pain! I really wish people would stop seeing Jewishness (or any religion / culture!) as tryndee and borrowing names and concepts they don’t understand (Kabbalah trenders, I’m looking at you).
