How about Jews giving their names like Peter,Paul,Mattew,Mary & James?
I will never understand that either

That's actually really common, especially here in the states.  I have a number of relatives with those names.  Or maybe theyre just fans of Peter Paul and Mary.   But I wasn't aware that James was a Christian name.

Quite a few of my relatives have given their kids non-Jewish names.  I think they just go by the sound of it.  But if only they would research the origin of some of these names...
