No, I have a Hebrew name, but I'm a Christian. And I like my name just fine. It means "Judged by God."
If you like a name, then go for it!
PS: Are you expecting? Because if so, congrats! :0)

No, I don't think so. You can have any name you want. If you're not Jewish, you wouldn't be given the name in a Synagogue or Temple, but that would be the only difference. Choose whatever name you want and enjoy!

Do you have to be Irish to have an Irish name? No. If you like a name use it. Its up to you. Lots of names have Hebrew roots. Don't worry about it.

Half the people in the Western world have Hebrew names.
Like David, Samuel, Rebeca, Rachel, and so on and so on ...

Considering the legions of blond-haired, blue-eyed Jacobs, Joshuas, Issacs, Aarons and Zekes running around, I doubt religion enters into it.

Go for it. Consider Whoopi Goldberg and if you're refering to first names most definitely you can have which ever name you want

No. My old teacher just had a baby girl and she named her baby Noor which means I think light in Islamic, but she's not Islam.

Most of the names we have came from the bible.
David, mary, elizabeth, the list is endless.
