I adore Hebrew names!

---

Simcha is really nice, but I don’t think it could work in an anglophone country. That “ch” element could cause pronunciation issues.

---

Ori isn’t my favorite, I think I’d prefer Ora; but it’d certainly work in an anglophone country.

---

Chesed is one of my favorites. You might have to alter the spelling to Hesed (I know that gets rid of the hard “ch” sound, but that’s not even really a sound used in English anyway), but I think it could work.

---

Gal is another favorite. It is a slangy way of saying “girl,” but I don’t think it’s that big of an issue.

---

Ari is fine, but it reminds me too much of Ariana, which I don’t like.

---

Shulamit - I prefer Salome.

---

Shoshana is nice, no problems there.

---

Elisheva could work, too. Very nice name.

---

Akiva is fine, too.

---

Ahava is another favorite, could definitely work.

---

Some other Hebrew names I like are:
Shiri
Tamar
Tal/Tali/Talya
Hadassah
Yuval
Alona
Merav
Vered
Shani
