Is it strange to use Jewish names when you're not Jewish?
My friend and her husband are both Irish, German, and English, and he has some Swedish on his side. But they both like names such as David, Saul, Isaiah, Elijah, Nathaniel, etc. She's worried that if she chose any combination of those names for her twins she's expecting, it would look weird. Would it be weird for someone with no Jewish herritage to use all Jewish names? Is it noticeable?
And also, what's your favorite or those 5? Thank you! :](She read somewhere that Nathaniel had some Jewish links, even though the site says its English/Biblical)Edit: And I think she might have some Italian heritage because she's slightly dark complected.
