Help[Opinions] Re: Hebrew girls' names
in reply to a message by Serel Channah
Aviva -- I should like it, but all my pea brain can process is, "Arriba! Andale! Andale!" Too many Bugs Bunny cartoons as a child. I wish I could get it out of my head. But I can't. :0(
Ayelet -- I'm not sure if i'm pronouncing it correctly. Is it like eyelet lace? If so, I love the sound and the association with eyelet lace is a nice one in my head. :0)
Chaya -- Eh. There could be pronunciation issues if the "ch" is a glottal "k" sound not used in English. But perhaps I'm wrong on the pronunciation. How are you saying it?
Gili -- Cute.
Keren -- It will be confused with Karen (= Katharine). But if that doesn't bother you, then it's still a very pretty name.
Keshet -- Mesmerizing. Love it. It sounds exotic and mystical.
Margalit -- Love it. :0)
Michal -- Eh. Is it pronounced like the English pronunciation of Michael? Confusing.
Rivka -- Love it.
Tziporah -- Love it, especially with the nn Tzipi. :0)
Aviva Roxane / Roxanne
Aviva Miriam
Aviva Gabrielle
Aviva Lior

Keren Avital
Keren Havilah
Keren Eidel
Keren Raphaela / Rafaela
Keshet Rahel (Hungarian form of Rachel?)
Keshet Marni
Margalit Rachel / Raquel

Mix and match. Cut and paste. You like? :0)
