520 |a While the Jewish origins of Sigmund Freud are not mysterious, the meaning of his Jewishness remains a matter of debate. One way, perhaps, of approaching this question is to do so obliquely, by looking at the names that he gave his children. Since he was responsible for naming his six offspring, rather than his wife doing the job, they reveal his great interest in the outside world, as well as a kind of familial interest in the friends of his childhood and younger years. His naming one child after Oliver Cromwell, another after Charcot, and a third after Professor Brücke, demonstrates that he was at home in history as well as in the gentile outside world. His girls had names which he had gratefully drawn from his family friends. This suggests a kind of non-parochialism which is confirmed by other things that one knows about Freud, particularly his commitment to scientific method which of course is quite independent of all religion.
