Flipboard<p>And finally, new data from Nameberry says people in red states are giving their kids the classic Jewish name Cohen (sometimes with the spelling Kohen). Our <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://flipboard.social/@CultureDesk" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>CultureDesk</span></a></span> featured this Forward story by Benyamin Cohen and Mira Fox, who are trying to figure out why. Theories include that people are naming their children after the directing duo the Coen brothers, or that it’s a co-opting by Christians of Jewish traditions. Says Benyamin: “I think it’s clever to give pets human names. We have chickens and each one is named after an NPR broadcaster. We have Terry Gross, Yuki Noguchi, Nina Totenberg and so on. We’re actually on our third Melissa Block. The first two, alas, are in chicken heaven now.” Mira replies: “And they all, of course, have your last name.” Benyamin: “Yes, yes. We call them the Co-Hens. I wonder what Nameberry would think of that.”</p><p><a href="https://forward.com/culture/707893/kohen-mira-baby-name-popularity/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">forward.com/culture/707893/koh</span><span class="invisible">en-mira-baby-name-popularity/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Culture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Culture</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Lifestyle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Lifestyle</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Names" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Names</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Judaism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Judaism</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Lifestyle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Lifestyle</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Parenting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Parenting</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/RedStates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RedStates</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Christianity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Christianity</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Newstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Newstodon</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/NewstodonFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NewstodonFriday</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/FollowFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FollowFriday</span></a></p>
