Please help us with our onomastic research by taking this survey and
forwarding the invitation to your 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 sbenor at huc.edu.
