HelpIf you had to give your six kids Hebrew or Yiddish names
What would you name them? I grew up in a very Jewish area and I love their names though a lot of the time they seemed kind of unusable outside of their community (even though Channah has such a nice spark on Hannah, that Ch...). Anyway, you can do the six however you want, and if you want to add more that's cool too, I'm going to do 8.
Reuven Ezra
Ayelet Channah
Moshe Immanuel
Shoshannah Miriam (Shana)
Ariel Gideon (Ari)
Shira Hadassah
Elior Gavriel
Michal Raisa (Mica)
Shoshannah's name is so long, I might change that to Shoshana only I like that spelling so much more.

Haha, no problem
I plan on giving my kids Hebrew/Yiddish names in accordance with our Hebrew/Yiddish heritage. :) My family tree is a caricature of old world Yiddish names. Also doing more than six, because no way can I narrow it down right now.
Chaya Shira
Miriam Esther
Shaina Malka
Orli Nechama
Penina Rachel
Aviva Yael
Ofra Chesed
Ilana Meital
Zipporah Leah
Merav Ayala and Michal Ateret
Ari Noam
Yosef Reuven
Shlomo Natan
Tzvi Aviram
Shmuel Itai
Yakov Abram (honoring my grandfather and great-grandfather)
Menachem Mendel "Mendy" (more meaningful in Jewish circles)
Zev Yitzhak
Yonah Gideon (honoring my father)
Eitan Yishai
Akiva Moshe
David Mattan

Ooh. I went through a phase where I was all about Hebrew names. I'm kinda' blanking though. Hm... They get two middle names cause I'm in the mood.
Mayim Raziela Irit
Havia Shoshana Libi
Lilach Reuvena Sarai
Freida Tzofiya Yael
Talia Margalit Ophir
Efraim Mattisyahu Seth
Rimmon Mordechai Yoel
Mayim, Havia, Lilach, Freida, Talia, Efraim and Rimmon.

Ahh I love Ayelet Raise, Elisheva Sarit, and Reuben Amir. It's a nice sibset all around though. I don't know Itzhak, but I do know a young Yitzhak (I was totally serious when I said I live in a Jewish community), it's kind of one of the names that are hard to say at first but kind of fun once you get the hang of it.

Aww no Shoshie for Shoshannah? Love that nn, totally adorable.
I'd consider (*ETA: Oh 6, * are the 6 I'd use)...
Abraham*
Eliezer*
Immanuel
Noam
Reuben*
Drorit
Margalit*
Marnie
Miriam*
Sarah
Shoshana*
Vered
There are lots of other names I like, but those are ones I like enough I would consider using.

Hadassah Liat just reminded me of my friend's little sister, Lital (Lee-tahl) which is a really lovely Jewish name. Kind of reminds me of Petal (though completely unrelated) yet has a better sound to it. I think Hadassah Lital would also be cute.
Of yours I like:
Hadassah Liat
Ayelet Chaya
Aviva Shoshannah
Adara Yemima
Ezra Mordecai
Asa Micaiah
Judah Israel (love this)
Abel Solomon

All girls:
Yael, Ziva, Naomi, Dalia, Ayelet, and Eliana
All boys:
Gideon, Avram, Binyamin, Reuben, Israel, and Oren.
Three of each:
Yael, Eliana, Ziva, Oren, Gideon, and Binyamin.
EDITED: I took out Lior and replaced it with Gideon. I have loved Gideon for a long time and must have skipped right over it!
Also, I misspelled Reuben as Rueben. Typing too fast! :)

I almost couldn't decide, but Gideon was at the top of my list for quite a few years, and I'm still partial to it. Thank you.
Of yours I really like Reuven Ezra. I typically don't care for Ezra but it is great in this combo.
I also like:
Shoshannah Miriam - I am in love with Miriam!
Ariel Gideon (Ari) - Like I said, I've liked Gideon forever.
Shira Hadassah - I adore Hadassah. :)

Oops! That was an accident; give me a moment and I'll definitely fix that.
