Oh. Makes sense. Sort of late to do that I thought? I thought a Jewish baby gets a Hebrew name in honor of a dead relative (Ashkenazi tradition; may not be Sephardic tradition??), then a "birth certificate" name is chosen, based on the country's language, if the baby is in a secular family. The Orthodox might just use the Hebrew name for daily use?

Then, what about people that discover as adults they are Jewish, when they start to investigate their lineage? Could make for an identity crises?
