Most beautiful Hebrew names - males
My mother bought me a great book about Hebrew names, with both the classics and the new/trendy ones, which is extra interesting. Not to mention the fact that the meanings are the good ones, since the authors are a rabbi & a rebbetzin (rabbi's wife). Here are my favs, but first the pron. guide (believe me you may need it! :) ) :
