Help[Opinions] Re: Tamar
in reply to a message by Lily8
1. Does it sound incomplete to you (like it's missing the A?)
Not at all.
2. How do you pronounce it? I say tah-MAHR. Do you know what the original pronunciation is?
I pronounce it the same way you do, but I see BtN says we're wrong.
3. What does it make you think of? I once heard that there was a public holiday that used the leaves of the date palms and girls born on that day were often named Tamar, do you know anything about that?
Tamar is slightly exotic, earthy, but still sweet. I picture a dark-eyed girl with a generous spirit. As for the holiday, I know it's Sukkot, but I don't know much about it.
4. Do you know anyone with the name? Do you happen to know if it is common in Israel?
No to both.
eta: Noah Tamar, but only if Tamar is pronounced the way we like it. Otherwise, Noah Sofia.
Not at all.

I actually think that behindthename got it wrong...I'm pretty sure it's Tah-MAHR and when you look at the comments for it you see that many others think so as well...
