Names

[valarltd]

I have a pair of brothers named Ariel and David benEzra. What ethnicity are they? Is there any ambiguity?

Short of naming them Tevye and Hymie Jewy Bar Jewison is there any way I could have made their family origin clearer?

Does anyone see those names, coupled with the phrase "strongly middle eastern features" and think "oh, Arabian, how nice?" Just curious here.

I see "Ben" in front of a last name and I think Jewish. But then again, given my background, I may have a bit of a predisposition. :)
