Product Description

From the authors of "Beyond Jennifer & Jason," "the best baby-naming book ever written" ("The News Journal"), here is a book to help you find a name for your baby that reflects your Jewish heritage and suits your personal style:
"Beyond Sarah & Sam: An Enlightened Guide to Jewish Baby Naming"
You want to name your baby after your grandfather Moishe, but it seems as if all the "good" M names-those that appeal to both the Jewish person and the modern parent in you-have been overused. Or you want to give your child a biblical name, but every time you open the Old Testament the only names you see are the usual Sarahs and Adams or the beyond-the-pale Jezebels and Jobabs.
Here, at last, is a comprehensive guide to names that can work for a Jewish baby in America today-from the traditional to the trendy, from the well-worn to the unheard-of, and everything in between. With the insight and panache that have made them the reigning experts on baby names, the authors explore:
Bubba and Zayde Names-Jewish names of yesteryear that are ripe for a comeback, and those in "Lauderdale Limbo" whose fate is undetermined
The Good Book of Names-how to go beyond Sarah and Samuel and Rachel and David, and why not to name your son Cain
Haifa-Nated Names-Hebrew names that may be popular in modern Israel but are sure to make your little one stand out in America
Plus an explanation of the complex Jewish naming traditions, a list of Jewish celebrities and their real names, and much, much more...
The authors' first baby name book revolutionized the field.

1 out of 5

by Leah from Palo Alto, CA | Apr 18, 2010

This was not enlightening at all and while the names went beyond Sarah & Sam they also included names Judaism is directly opposed like Terach, Abraham's idol worshiping and selling father. Little did I know these authors had also written titles such as Beyond Charles and Diana: An Anglophile's Guide to Baby Naming, Beyond Jason and Jennifer... from 1995, and now Beyond Ava and Aiden... for 2009. The one I read was published in 1992 and she is writing about typical American Jews so her idea of what is trendy, overdone, grandmotherish, cool, uncool, etc makes no sense for my life.
