Help[Opinions] Zelig and Mordecai
I'd like your opinions on these two names:
Zelig (or Selig)
Mordecai (or Mordechai)
Usable or not? What do you like or not like about them? Any middle names you can think of?
Keep in mind that, if I ever used these names, baby would have both Jewish and Assyrian heritage, mixed with my own heritage (nordic and Polish).

Hi Rosebeth !!
I prefer Mordecai because the 'c' is more similar to the Hebrew letter and not be confused with 'ch' as in Chaya for example.
My link with Mordecai eccept for the Biblical one is Mordechai Meisl a main character in 'By night under the stone bridge' by Leo Perutz. I loved those stories.
I prefer Selig to Zelig (again to not confuse it). After that Zelig is an Italian comic TV show here so I can't see it as a name.
