HelpRe: new Jewish names on my mind
in reply to a message by Murasaki
Simcha is ok, nms. I think I prefer it for a boy. I love the nn Sim!
I don't care much for Tamara.
Tamar, I don't like because of the history. Tamar was a daughter of King David. She was the full sister of Absalom. She was raped by her half-brother Amnon. Absalom eventually killed Amnon to avenge his sister, then he rebelled against his father, King David. Absalom had a beautiful daughter which he named Tamar, presumably after his sister.
