Survey Jewish baby names, Starbucks names, pets’ names, and more

[Sarah Benor]

Please help us with our Jewish onomastic research by taking this survey and forwarding the invitation to your Jewish and non-Jewish networks:

You’re invited to take a fun survey about American Jewish first names. The researchers want to know which names Jews and non-Jews associate with Jews. Who has a “Starbucks name”? Who gives their children Biblical names? Israeli names? Who gives their dogs names like Babka and Afikomen? Porkchop? To answer these questions, the researchers need your help. Please take 10-12 minutes to fill out the survey, and then forward this invitation to others.

The researchers are Sarah Bunin Benor, a Professor of Contemporary Jewish Studies at Hebrew Union College and the University of Southern California, and Jason Bronowitz, a rabbinical student and statistician. You can reach Dr. Benor at sbe...@huc.edu.
