[name_m]Bat[/name_m]-[name_f]Shira[/name_f] - I think [name_f]Shira[/name_f] is much more wearable than [name_m]Bat[/name_m]-[name_f]Shira[/name_f]. Also because accent plays a big part in how ‘[name_m]Bat[/name_m]’ is said. In my synagogue [name_m]Bat[/name_m] is pronounced like the animal/object, not Bahh-t. I do adore [name_f]Shira[/name_f] though.
Liraz - Liraz is lovely, and pretty cool. Personally I think I prefer it on a boy (same with names like Liron) but I think it is very wearable and non-Hebrew speakers/people unfamiliar with Hebrew names would be fine with it.
Yocheved - I love Yocheved, but I don’t think it’s wearable outside of Jewish communities. Better of as a Hebrew name for ceremonies than an everyday-wear name. I think the ‘Ch’ really makes it hard for people who aren’t used to that sound.
[name_f]Batya[/name_f] - nice, I’m not a huge fan of the name just in itself (I tend not to like B names), but there’s absolutely nothing wrong with it. I think you may run into people who say [name_m]Bat[/name_m]-ee-ah instead of [name_f]Batya[/name_f], but that wouldn’t be the end of the world.
Gefen - It’s ok. I like how it looks and sounds but to me it just links too heavily to be blessing over wine. It feels a little like naming a child ‘vineyard’ or ‘[name_f]Chardonnay[/name_f]’. However, outside of Jewish circles/in [name_m]Israel[/name_m] rather than in a religious space, it may be very wearable.
Nili - the meaning is a bit much for me, the name itself is fine though I agree with others that it might be better as a nickname. I do think it can stand alone, but I don’t really like it.
[name_f]Pesha[/name_f] - Completely wearable and unlikely to trip people up, I personally find it a little harsh and perhaps a little too close to [name_u]Kesha[/name_u]. But again, it’s a fine name that I think is very wearable.
Margalit - I love Margalit. A friend of mine very seriously considered because it also links to the word [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] which are her favourite flowers. I think Margalit has a lot going for it as it’s similar to [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]/[name_f]Margot[/name_f], although I think lots of people would say ‘[name_f]Mar[/name_f]-gah-lit (like hit)’ rather than [name_f]Mar[/name_f]-gah-leet. I think that’s probably a fairly easy thing to correct and I think it’s a lovely name.
Rutti - I know a Rutti who I am not particularly fond of, so it is colouring my appreciation of this name. It’s ok, other people have pointed out potential flaws, but it it is easy to read and pronounce. I prefer [name_f]Rut[/name_f]/[name_f]Ruth[/name_f].
Liat - Gorgeous name, easy to read and say. I knew a Liat a long time ago and I always loved her name.
[name_f]Freyde[/name_f]/[name_f]Frayda[/name_f] - I think it’s wearable, but I don’t really like it. It’s a weird cross over between [name_f]Freya[/name_f] and [name_f]Freida[/name_f] and my brain doesn’t enjoy reading it.
