Arrg... Next time I hear someone refer to the Jewish bible as the "Old Testament"[1], I'm going to ask them which one is the New Testament, the Quran or the Book of Mormon. /s
Seriously Christians, you can call your own books whatever you want, but it's not okay to mis-name our books.
Either use "Tanakh", the correct name. "Jewish Bible" is icky but currently acceptable.

[1] This is specifically a Christian talking about the Jewish texts as the Old Testament, not their own Christian Bible that has a section called Old Testament.
