Chaim

Painted with golden specks of vitality, Chaim does not hesitate to spread its petals to the sky like a fair rose in the garden. A kaleidoscope of hues, the letters intertwine like tendrils of ivy. Its calligraphy is a thrilling dance that mirrors the pulsating rhythm of heartbeats pounding across time. Chaim as a name gently kisses the earth, capturing the myriad mundanities that make it an energetic classic: the laughter that sparkles like sunlight on water, the tears that glisten like morning dew. Its blood rushes madly through the veins of the world, empowering those who have not yet learned to live. Marvelous!

I prefer the spelling Hayim.

I gave my son this name and we spell it phonetically with a “K” so people will inadvertently pronounce it correctly. He’s now 16, loves his name and tells people who don't know the meaning, when they ask. It’s awesome when Jewish, Israeli or Middle Eastern people hear his name and instantly know the meaning!

Great name with a great meaning.

I don't care for this name. It sounds too Jewish, and nobody will pronounce the "ch" properly.

It has a cool meaning ("life"), sounds great, and looks good on paper.
