Agam is a name that has only recently slipped into usage as a name. It's the Hebrew word for 'lake'.

I'm surprised to see Noah being used for a girl. In the Torah, it's used as both a masculine and feminine name, but I've only ever seen Noa used for girls. Interesting.

---

I love that Yael is on the list, despite it meaning 'mountain goat', lol.

---

I'm not surprised, however, to find Sarah on the list. Tamar is not too much of a shocker, but more of a shock to find it on the list and not finding Rachel, Rivka, Leah or Miriam (even though Miriam isn't as widespread as it once was).

---

I don't really like Shira, but I love Shiri.

---

Of the boys names, Noam, David, Yosef, Yohonatan, Yonatan, Ariel and Moshe aren't big shockers at all, and really kind of typical.

---

All in all, the female list really surprised me, but the male list was what I would expect to see.
