And finally, new data from Nameberry says people in red states are giving their kids the classic Jewish name Cohen (sometimes with the spelling Kohen). Our @CultureDesk featured this Forward story by Benyamin Cohen and Mira Fox, who are trying to figure out why. Theories include that people are naming their children after the directing duo the Coen brothers, or that it’s a co-opting by Christians of Jewish traditions. Says Benyamin: “I think it’s clever to give pets human names. We have chickens and each one is named after an NPR broadcaster. We have Terry Gross, Yuki Noguchi, Nina Totenberg and so on. We’re actually on our third Melissa Block. The first two, alas, are in chicken heaven now.” Mira replies: “And they all, of course, have your last name.” Benyamin: “Yes, yes. We call them the Co-Hens. I wonder what Nameberry would think of that.”

The name Kohen (or Cohen) is skyrocketing in popularity, but only in red states, while Mira is all over blue states. What's driving the popularity of these traditionally Jewish names? Forward's Benyamin Cohen and Mira Fox have thoughts. Mira: "Does Cohen mean anything else, besides being a priest?" Benyamin: "Sure, it means, 'Hi, I’m a Jew.'"
A proposal to automatically give babies mother’s last name ignites a row in Italy.
An Italian politician has proposed a law that would make it automatic for babies to be assigned their mother’s last name at birth, a step that would mark a rupture with tradition and has sparked a fiery debate.
Children born in Italy are automatically registered with their father’s last name, unless the father is absent from the child’s life.
A Jewish name can take a number of different forms, and each has its own shade of meaning. #Jewish #names https://buff.ly/JQjE4Ng
What a powerful name! Do you know any more?
The puritans had no qualms in naming their daughters "Deliverance". That is pushing it, if you ask me. Hopestill is fine, I could adopt it as my own name! :-)
Our twins have biblical names too, as it happens, with a specific reason why these should be their names. But no one can tell. Their names blend in.
