- for French, give me a century. For 20th, give me a decade. * Mmm... XVIII
- for Jewish, give me your parents' names and if the name must be totally Hebrew, or involve Yiddish or Judeo Spanish. If you don't care, give me a country. * Beatriz Mariana & Fortunato César / Mmm... I love the Yiddish version of my first name but I'll pick a country...

French, 1700's:
Cécile Alexandra (click Cecile)Jewish, Eastern Europe:
Sisel Alechsandra.
At the synagogue, you would be called Sisel Alechsandra bat Anshel Caesar ve Brucha Mindel. (SA daughter of AC and BM).
You probably recognize two "not Jewish sounding" names, Alechsandra and Caesar. Both have been added to the list of legal Jewish names, respectively at the time of Alexander the Great and Caius Julius Caesar, because they had been good to the Jews. :)
