Re: jewish names
If you search under Hebrew names, you'll get a full list from the database. How common a name is would probably vary depending upon where the Jewish family lives. A Jewish family living in America or Britain might choose a different name for their children than someone living in Israel. For instance the actor Jason Isaacs comes from a British-Jewish family, and I don't consider Jason a Hebrew name. Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Rachel Weisz names are pretty traditional. Also, it would probably make a difference depending on whether they are practicing Jews or not. There are Jewish people who are Christian, Atheist, Agnostic, etc.Some common names include:
Boys:
Joseph/ Josef
Jacob
Isaac
Benjamin
Joshua
Alexander- Although not of Hebrew origin, it still seems popular
Boaz
Daniel
David
Levi
Michael
Mendel
Aaron/ Aron
Samuel
Abram Girls:
Rachel
Sarah
Hannah
Rebecca
Ruth
Naomi
Esther/ Ester
Rosa
Golda
Tamar
Yael
Adi
Rivka
Maya
Abigail
