Help[Opinions] Re: Some Hebrew names — WDYT
in reply to a message by Cayden
i love:
Simcha - this SOUNDS happy
Ori
Ari
Shulamit
Shoshana - i think this is well known now bc it's from a show or something?
Elisheva - works really well as an alternative to Elizabeth
Akiva
Ahava - love how this sounds both delicate and bold
i think the only ones which may be trouble would be Gal, if used as a first name. Galit would be a better alternative. and people would need to be corrected often on how to say Simcha.
i can imagine a lot of people mispronouncing relatively simple ones, like Ahava, but that's not a big deal to correct, and Americans can just deal with it.
ones i'd suggest:
Aviva
Margalit - good alternative to Margaret
Merav - would use myself if i/the child was Jewish
Miriam - used to be one of my favorite names, now less so bc of a personal association, but still lovely
Nurit
Sigalit
Tova
Vered
Hadar
Efraim
Eliyahu
Elkanah
Lavi
