Help[Opinions] Re: Some Hebrew names — WDYT
in reply to a message by Cayden
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
