[Opinions] Re: Are these names appropriate?
in reply to a message by Wish Fish
I wouldn't expect everyone with a Hebrew name to be Jewish. The level of exposure a non-Jewish person (or character) has to various Hebrew names would depend on a variety of factors.
I personally would not feel it was inappropriate for me (as a non-Jewish person) to use names that seem familiar/intuitive to me. Lev is one of those; Chaya is not. For non-Jewish people more familiar than me with Kh and hard Ch sounds, maybe Chaya could be appropriate.
