Ben, Sam and Michael are all Jewish names of Hebrew origin.
Ben - Binyamin, son of my right [hand], from Benjamin, son of Jacob/Israel, in Genesis.
Sam - Shmuel, asked of God, from Samuel, the Prophet, from Samuel I and II
Michael - Mikha'el, who is like God, from Michael, archangel.
But yes, in general I agree, assimilation is desirable for the general society.
