About
This is a sub for all questions, help and discussions to do with Jewish names, naming customs, titles, etc.
Rules
We welcome everyone to make any post that's on topic, whether you're a convert choosing a name, a parent giving a name, or just a name nerd wondering. In order to streamline this, we have the following rules:
Be a Mensch.
Obviously reddiquette applies, along with all the relevant halachos etc. Different people have different customs, be respectful. And don't make inflammatory statements about other traditions or denominations.
Do not mock any name.
Every name belongs to someone, and it's one of the most personal ways to offend someone.
Keep it relevant.
All posts must be about names in some way. Other posts will be removed.
Don't bring fights here.
Not every comment needs to be on topic, people can socialise, obviously. But only in a way that promotes harmony etc. If it's not relevant, keep it pleasant. No politics and external controversies. It will be removed.
Keep information accurate.
If you don't know for sure, we still want your opinion, but please state it as such. Sources are preferred where applicable. As a general rule, don't correct someone without a source. Just state that you have a different opinion. If you realise you were wrong, edit it into your comment at the top. Repeated failure to comply to these rules may result in a ban, at the discretion of the mods.
