Best Answer

Yes and no. It depends on which branch of Judaism the family practices. In nonreligious families, parents will choose a Hebrew name and a name common to the land of their birth.

In traditional Jewish circles, some families will choose Hebrew names with English and Hebrew pronounciations.

Most Jewish families choose names in 2 different ways:

Askenazi: Name after the dead

Sefardi: Name after the living
