I thought about the Hebrew indication. I tend to gravitate towards names that show a Jewish heritage, since I'm pretty religious myself. It could always be one of those double names (i.e., Iris, Michal, Rachel, Dinah) that is pronounced the "secular" way in the States but is pronounced the Hebrew way in synagogue/Israel.
What about these more Hebrew combos:
Dana Smadar
Dana Kinneret
Dana Michal
Dana Liraz
Dana Sigal
Dana Yocheved

Dana Kinneret
I saw Leah Kinneret yesterday and it stuck with me last night. I should have commented yesterday and told you how truly gorgeous the combination is.
Dana Kinneret is lovely as well.
How do you pronounce Kinneret? "KIN-er-et" -- "ki-NEHR-et" -- "kin-er-ET?" What does it mean?
I still prefer Leah Kinneret over Dana Kinneret, but they are both eye-catchingly good.

I pronounce it kin-NER-ret. That's the only pronunciation I've ever heard. It means "harp" (although I have one book which lists it as meaning "violin") and is the Israeli term for the Sea of Galilee.
Speaking of which, I'm starting to like Galilee as a novel sort of place name.

Kinneret is going on my long list this minute. The meaning harp / violin makes sense. I'm sure their stringed instruments were not the same as ours are today.
Thanks!
Thanks!

oh I know :) and I just love it that way. but I fear people would say Michael and think I just chose to spell it Michal to make it more feminine :( I also love Noa but most people I know dislike it because they think of it as a boys name. Noa Michal would be soooo lovely, though. I can really see myself using Noa someday but how would I get people to pronounce Michal the way I want it pronounced? Meekhal looks weird :( any ideas?
