Woo Bluma! I think this is my favorite Yiddish name. And Bluma and Raisa would be a delicious twin or sister set. Blumi is adorable.

Bluma Rachel is gorgeous. Bluma Ruchel is also fun.
I don't like Bluma Eidel, but that's just because Eidel sounds like 'idle' to me.
Bluma Liba doesn't flow very well.
Bluma Kalanit sounds great. What is the theme? ETA I just read your response explaining that Kalanit is a flower. I say use it anyway! I'm more easygoing about flower themes than most other kinds of themes, lol.
Bluma Zipporah is sweet too.

Some more ideas...

Bluma Cheftzibah
Bluma Vashti
Bluma Esther
Bluma Vered
Bluma Shalom
Bluma Elka - it's choppy but I like it

I really like Bluma Shalom. I've never much been into Shalom as a name, but I'm really liking it here.

Bluma Esther and Bluma Vered are pretty. I'll keep in mind Bluma and Raisa as a sister set! Blumi and Raizy would be adorbs. :)

I would probably pronounce Eidel as eye-DELL (though I admittedly love AY-dul, too). I can see where you'd get "idle," though.

Thanks for your suggestions and feedback!

I think Shalom might work better as a mn than fn in some cases as something for a name to flow into. I know a couple w/ a little girl named Lily Shalom.
