I was speaking to friends about naming children and they mentioned an Israeli couple that recently had twins. They chose two harmless popular names that otherwise wound not cause a stir. Nonetheless in this day and age when people have to use their names in places outside of Kefar Saba It might be a good idea to check what the name means in other languages not as popular as Hebrew. I am sure Shai and Alon will make a lot of friends.
Here are a few more names to think about.
Problematic Names for Multi-cultural (Hebrew/English) People
FIRST NAMES:
Shai - שי - A bashful gift?
Alon - אלון - A loner with leaves?
Mor- מור - additional fragrances
Moran - מורן - Are you stupid?
Osnat - אוסנת - Your nose running?

Tahel - תהל -Ta what?
Dudu - דודו - Guess
Dikla - דיקלה - A palm for her
Dedi - דדי - Lively name

From Phsycogirl24@aol.com
this one is really the worst: Fucksman! i swear it's a real last name - i saw it in the newspaper! and last week this chassidish man came into the store where i work and told me that his last name was Sprung. i couldn't keep a straight face! and then there's also those poor people with the last name Jerkofsky! When i was in school we had a substitute named Mrs. Lipshitz. one of my friends came up with the perfect line for that one: "if her lip sh**ts, my a** talks"!!! And, last but not least, one of my former classmates who i hated (who in hindsight i pity): Kraindy Lokshin. what kind of parents name they're kid kraindy? or keep the last name lokshin?

Since the the end of the second world war, american Jews have been
searching for the entymology behind their inane family names. I put
forth to you that these names were meant to be a racist joke -a prank so
secret that only the the Immigration officials at Ellis Island were
given clearance.
Without further ado.

You left out Blatter! For example, consider the unlucky couple Duddie and Peshy Blatter. And the rebbe who is describing the wild Blatter child to a co-teacher and says, "That Blatter was out of control today." And the plumber - "I think the Blatters have a leak" ... I'm really sorry if any Blatters are reading this. I know some Blatters, and I think you are great people, but ... you really should change your name.
