[Opinions] Re: Names for a Jewish central/east European woman from the 1920s
Most Jewish people in Europe spoke mostly Yiddish, so I would look at Yiddish names rather than Polish, etc. Some suggestions:Golda or Goldie
Shayna
Rifka
Gittel
SiselAlternatively, look at Hebrew namesChaya
Eliora
Sarah
Shoshana
Tzipora
Liat
GilahAbsolutely zero of my ancestors have traditionally Polish/Russian names, despite living in those regions. A Jewish girl, even if from Poland, named say Ksenia or Martyna would be very unconvincing to me.

Thanks for your suggestions and your input. I've always liked Tzipora a lot.
