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 in my world.
