I know one of these perhaps may cause a snark, but I think it's a cute name and no different than names of the Puritan era...anyway on with the poll!

Yes, but I don't dig combining two extremely divergant name together like that. I doubt Chaya would be culturally justified.

I said "I doubt", which means I don't really know or care if the OP is jewish, it just seems to be very trendy lately to use Hebrew and jewish names where there is not a culutural tie. Madeleine is about as french as you can get in my opinion. Not just in origin, but it has cultural and pop culture ties that link it to france. Just my opinion, which is what I assumed she was asking for by posting in a name community.

"People use many other cultures' names (Ireland in particular lately) without any ties to that culture."

I hate that too. :)

I am. Jewish that is. The thing is completely hypothetical though- I could never use the name Chaya anyway.
