re: #421 Sergey Romanov

I also don’t see how it clashes with the 1st cmdt. It’s Mormons who are doing things, this doesn’t apply to the names.

It’s seen as an attempt to erase the Jewishness of the person, and Jews are highly sensitive to that. I don’t think observant Jews actually feel like it changes anything, at all, but that it is an actual attempt to. That those who do it feel it’s meaningful is why Jews have a problem with it.
