Jews changing their names back to Hebrew ones is a form of decolonization.

Simplified version: Jews for 1000s of years had Hebrew ones (first name son/daughter of x), and still do, until Gentiles decided their names needed to conform and coerced the adoption of non-Hebrew language surnames.
To quote a fellow Jewsky member: gentiles learning about Ashkenormativity was a mistake.

💔And Renée Good. When I think about their last names, Good and Pretti, it seems surreal that their surnames would be English words for laudable human behavior seconds before being murdered. Pretti, "Pretty," like his soul.

Last words.

Pretti, "Are you ok?"

Good, "I'm not mad at you, Dude."

Yes. Ask any Republican. Climate change is a Democratic hoax and white people in the affected states don't get any help with their property damage unless their states strike all with Spanish surnames off of the voter rolls.

There's a whole cohort of trans women who came out in the mid to late 2010's whose chosen surnames are Anglo-Saxon Runes

YO, when I get married I wanna keep my surname. My husband can do whatever he wants to do, and our kids can be hyphenate if we have different surnames. Easy peasy, everybody’s happy.

We need to stop electing people with surnames that sound like a synonym for shit 🤷

Literally just that 😆 Took me until well into the edits of my first book before I realised I didn't know any of their surnames, and then only because another character was trying to use someone's full name 🤣

Congratulations to Pól Ó Dochartaigh on the publication of two new articles 'Coens, Leavys, and others: anglicisation, assimilation, and “Jewish” surnames in Ireland in the early 20th Century' in Irish Studies Review (doi.org/10.1080/0967...)

If it was intentional, yeah. I think it might just be the writers forgetting how surnames traditionally work.

(Or doing it deliberately to streamline the dialogue)

I demand the Cockney novelty song!

None that I recall, but no one is quite sure of all their surnames.
