HelpRe: Shoshana: once and for all
in reply to a message by Ottilie
Shoshana is a great name.
As someone that married into a Jewish family/community, I have often wanted to give my children Hebrew/Jewish middle names. So many of them are Biblical, too, so they are often used between both Christians of many ethnic/national backgrounds, so I don't think it is impossible to blur the lines with Hebrew/Jewish names genearlly.
However, it does have a more culturally Jewish feel than a lot of other names, just because it isn't as widely used.
I don't think anyone Jewish I know would be offended by its use, though your child might be assumed to be Jewish.
Does this make sense? Feels rambley. I apologize. Haha.
