@Daniel Seriously, this is the risk you take when you write anything and put it out there for people to read. It's the cost of doing business, just as raising children and sending them out into the world risks those children doing stuff to the world you'd rather they didn't. ...

... (Simile from someone quoted in Dr. Watts' class.)

You do your best to release your words in the best state possible, and then you daven.

A friend emailed to ask me about Jewish baby names: making up names, modifying names, using roots, grammar implications, etc...

But, either because she's unsure, or because she wants to keep her naming ideas private, The question was very vague.

I gave her some ideas, and I referred her to Mi.Yodeya. If she does choose to post a question, and it's vague, can I ask that we all kindly try to help her, rather than criticize the question? I'd be personally grateful.

Additionally...anybody got any books or websites, or know any people they can ask, that I can send to her in an email?

@SethJ If the question doesn't fit our model, it's got to be either fixed or closed. Hopefully, if this is necessary, it will be done in a nice manner.

@SethJ Her rabbi would, of course, likely be an excellent resource. Discretion, knowledge of her circumstances, knowledge of relevant standard of Jewish practice, and wisdom would all hopefully/presumably be present.

... If she hasn't got one that fits the bill, perhaps you could suggest your rabbi, who does.
