Taking on a Hebrew name?

[Director Michael]

Any name in the Hebrew Bible that appears as the name of a righteous person (or those angels' names that are also commonly used for people or places) is certainly OK for any person to use, Jewish or non-Jewish, for example:

For boys:
Daniel, Emanuel, Gabriel, Israel, Joel, Michael, etc.

For girls:
Daniella, Elisheva, Emanuella, Gavriella, Yael, etc.

Of course there are many more.

But it would NOT be OK for anyone to use just G-d's Name "E-l" (blessed is He) for a personal name.
