[Opinions] Re: Israel... (M)

Actually, it’s used quite a lot as a name. I’ve met several. It looks like it’s in the top 300 in the U.S., which is nothing to sneeze at.
I agree that you would have to be Jewish to use it though, and even then I probably wouldn’t due to the fraught (and likely unresolvable in our lifetimes) situation in that region.
It does have a nice sound, but if you used it you’ve have to be prepared for it to trigger strong assumptions, associations and emotions every time. That’s a lot to bestow on a little person.
