Re: Favorite Hebrew Girl Names
in reply to a message by Gregory Woodrow
The only one I truly love is Aviva. It sounds vibrant and full of life to me. I also like Tova, Vered, Ziva, Riva, Noa, Nessa, Maya and Dana, which I don't really see as a 'Hebrew name'. Liorit is interesting too, but I can't decide if I like it, or just find it interesting.
Of your list I like Margalit best. I might like Chava if I didn't know it's a male nickname for Salvador.
I can't see the appeal of Achinoam, and looking up the meaning only made it worse...

...what's wrong with "my brother is pleasant"? Just wondering.
It feels wrong to me. Like someone else is pleasant, not the child with this name. Also, "pleasant" itself is not the best meaning to me, but would have been better, so I'd rather see just Noam.
