I was think of calling my daughter Talia, which I think is a really pretty name and works well in English, but is also a Jewish/Israeli name which would reflect her heritage.
However several people have told me that I should give her a more 'Anglicised' name, as otherwise this might disadvantage her in life. I feel a bit miffed by this, but of course wouldnt want her to have a name which might mean she has difficulties later on.
What are your opinions on this? Any personal experiences?
