Discuss OronD's answer to: Christian names.

When I interview job seekers, how come Jews and Muslams get upset when I ask for their Christian name? Everyone got to have one..... don't they?

OronD Answered:

No, not everyone has a Christian name...... only Christian people have Christian names.... I don't have a Christian name. By asking a non-Christian what is his / her Chriatian name you embarrase them (not really insulting). How would you feel if you came to Israel, come to a job interview and they ask you: "What is your Jewish name ?". That is rediculous. You MUST be much more sensitive and simply ask: "What is your name ?". By the way: Most of the Israelies have only 1 name (I have only one). So if you wanted to know my 2nd name(s) you should have ask: "Do you have a 2nd name(s)", rather than asking: "What is your 2nd name ?".
