Re: For those of you just as nutsy about Hebrew names as I am
Oh I love Yocheved and if I were Israeli I'd ponder using it even if it was outdated. Other names I like:Yael - Even if it it overkill
Merav
Aviva - I used to just love it but I've seen it too much on these boards so it's rapidly crossing into meh territory.
Nili - I've never heard of this. It's cute. What's it mean?
Talia
Yafa - Used to be one of my favorites.
Shiri - So sweet, though I'd never use it, even as an Israeli.
Yava
Einav - What's this mean?
Miri
Yaen
Nahal - Though this would sound better on a boy.
Yasmin
LeiliYosef - Though it's overused.
Noah - The Hebrew prn is cool.
Ezra
Isaac - Though the Hebrew form is Yitzhak, which is also nice.
Elam
Omri
Eitan - Probably my favorite Hebrew boy name.

It's an acrostic for the phrase "the glory of Israel shall not lie." Probably one of my all-time favorite Zionist choices.Einav means "grape." Sort of prosaic, but I love the sound.
