Message: "Meital" - Behind the Name

[Opinions] Meital

I've come across Meital a few times and never really gave it much thought. Today, however, I was looking over some old case study for my psychology class and one of the researchers was named Meital and, for some reason, I had an epiphany. I'm totally infatuated with it now--I love its sound, it's meaning...plus I think it would make a great mn in almost any combo. It's an iamb like all the other fillers (Nicole, Elise, Marie, et al.) so it sounds just as good without being cliché.

Wdyt? Like it? Love it? Hate it?
Also, if you have any combo suggestions for a fn or mn (with names from my PNL or otherwise) that would be awesome!

ETA: It's pronounced may-TAL.

I really like it, and it's got a lovely meaning. I'm a bit bugged by the similarity with "metal", though.

It's beautiful, but it looks a lot like "metal". Have you considered spelling it Meytal?

Love it.

It's one of my favorites, but I'm obsessed with Hebrew names, so there you go.

For combos... I'm really anti-mixing-ethnic-sounding-names, so here are some Hebrew name combos:

Chava Meital
Adah Meital
Eidel Meital
Noa Meital
Ilana Meital
Shira Meital
Ofira Meital
Nava Meital
Hannah Meital
Hadassah Meital
Leah Meital

Meital Gabrielle
Meital Shoshannah
Meital Ilana
Meital Hadassah
Meital Smadar
Meital Eliora

Is it MEE-tal or MAY-tal?

Yeah, I agree about it working better as a mn. Thanks--I really like Ophelia Meital, Persephone Meital, and Freja Meital.

I love the sound (and the meaning is gorgeous), but written down I think it looks a bit too much like Metal. That's ok, though, it still sounds lovely. How about Meital Paloma or Meital Juniper?
