Re: Names of kids from an event
Izaria is interesting and I wonder what the spelling is, and where it comes from.
Did you spell "Ahn-ya" as Agna, or did you hear "Agg-na"?
I like "Ahn-ya" but not "Agg-na."
Roee seems like the same sound as if it's a diminutive nickname for a Ro-name, isn't it? Like you might've heard Rowy / Rowie used to name a Rowan or Rowena? Or even Roey for Roman or Rosemary? I dunno, that's what I like to imagine it is - and if I were right, I'd think it's better than Bowie.- mirfak

I wonder if Izaria is a variant of Azaria?

Izaria is definitely interesting, and even though I’m not sure of the spelling I find it really pretty! Agna was pronounced as Agg-na, which I’ve never heard before.
The kid called Roee is someone I’ve met before, and I’m pretty sure it’s his full name. According to the user submitted names, it means ‘my Sheppard’ in Hebrew
Thank you for the response:)

Ok thanks, now I see it's a name with Israeli usage, also spelled Roei in English. Interesting. You inspired me to edit the submitted name so that it says "my shepherd" instead of "my Sheppard."
I wonder if it just means "shepherd," though? That's what wikipedia says. Anyone?
