1. .קןם doesn't make any sense
blash ,   Jerusalem   (12.28.10)
"com" in English stands for "commercial," indicating a commercial web site. So it makes sense for such an ending to be "סחר." in Hebrew, since מסחר means commercial.
2. Now get rid of our Gentile surnames
BackToOurHebrewNames ,   china and israel   (12.28.10)
While we are at it has not the time come to rid ourselves of the gentile names forced in most cases on our ancestors in Germany Poland and Russia 300 years ago for taxation purposes leading to the eternal charge we are not from this part of the world Hebrazise now or are we saying well maybey were not going to stay here and will need these names again ? A sign of our own insecurity and insecure identitiy.

5. @#2: Your identity is insecure!
whatever   (12.29.10)
There is no such thing as jewish or gentile surnames. Names reflect history and are only a part of identity. It is great that there are as many different names, as there are jews in different parts of the world. If you can't accept your ashkenazi (or other) name and have to make up a fantasy hebrew name, then you are the one who's got the identity problem!

Birdi ,   Israel   (12.30.10)
You take your keyboard with you,if you travel. Or if in Israel, you buy a keyboard with Hebrew alphabet. Thats not so difficult, is it ? All computers have language change.
