Hakatan that’s exactly what I meant. The Binyan Dovid too didn’t mean to excoriate his people for their Hungarian names. They had to have legal names. His issue was that they used these names at home and with friends instead of their yiddish names. I also said that, as you restated. Nothing wrong with an American legal name of Robert. But outside of work in your yiddish atmosphere be called Reuven.
