HelpDana Kinneret
in reply to a message by BrilliantBlue
I saw Leah Kinneret yesterday and it stuck with me last night. I should have commented yesterday and told you how truly gorgeous the combination is.
Dana Kinneret is lovely as well.
How do you pronounce Kinneret? "KIN-er-et" -- "ki-NEHR-et" -- "kin-er-ET?" What does it mean?
I still prefer Leah Kinneret over Dana Kinneret, but they are both eye-catchingly good.

I pronounce it kin-NER-ret. That's the only pronunciation I've ever heard. It means "harp" (although I have one book which lists it as meaning "violin") and is the Israeli term for the Sea of Galilee.
Speaking of which, I'm starting to like Galilee as a novel sort of place name.

Kinneret is going on my long list this minute. The meaning harp / violin makes sense. I'm sure their stringed instruments were not the same as ours are today.
Thanks!
Thanks!

oh I know :) and I just love it that way. but I fear people would say Michael and think I just chose to spell it Michal to make it more feminine :( I also love Noa but most people I know dislike it because they think of it as a boys name. Noa Michal would be soooo lovely, though. I can really see myself using Noa someday but how would I get people to pronounce Michal the way I want it pronounced? Meekhal looks weird :( any ideas?
