Pop singer Christina Aguilera and her husband, music marketer Jordan Bratman, gave a nod to Bratman’s Jewish roots with the naming of their first child. Max Liron, the couple’s “greatest song” (Max from the Latin meaning “greatest,” and Liron meaning “a song for me” in Hebrew), was born in Los Angeles on Saturday.
And on the same day a lot of other Gentiles with Jewish names were born. Over the years that's included people from Isaac Newton to Abraham Lincoln to David Duke. But she is hot and has a great voice.
Personally, I prefer Isaac Newton and Abraham Lincoln to David Duke.... And I prefer Christina Aguilera to Newton and Lincoln, because, as Dave says, she is hot and sings well, and what have Newton or Lincoln done for me lately? Mmmmm. Newton....
