Edit How did I forget Nava ?
[name_m]Welcome[/name_m] to the clan!
Are there any styles or meanings that speak to you personally? Would you like an easily recognizable name, or some uncommon gem? Something from the Torah or does anything in Hebrew go? -because modern names are quite ‘hippie’ and nature related, lots of bodies of water and animals, which leads to yet another point - would you like a very obviously feminine name, a unisex name, or it doesn’t matter?
I really love [name_f]Hadassah[/name_f] and [name_f]Ariel[/name_f]. To note, [name_m]Noah[/name_m] is a male name, [name_f]Noa[/name_f] is the feminine one - in Hebrew they’re spelled and pronounced differently according to their unrelated meanings, which is also another good point - [name_m]Noah[/name_m] is super common in [name_f]English[/name_f], but not used as much in Hebrew speaking families since it’s a little awkward.

Hi and thank you! I am drawn to Chana and Chava the most. I like Chana Hadassah or Chava Hadassah but I think it may be too much together. I am a bit of a bohemian if that helps. I have thought about maybe Chana/Chava Oona or Chana/Chava Elodie since I plan to legally change my name. I kind of like Eliora as well.
I recently discovered the name, [name_f]Liora[/name_f]. I think it’s beautiful. It means light and it’s my new favorite.
Other ideas:
[name_f]Abigail[/name_f]

[name_f]Ariel[/name_f]
[name_f]Bethany[/name_f]
[name_f]Este[/name_f]
[name_f]Hepzibah[/name_f]
[name_f]Miriam[/name_f] is a Muslim name but plenty of Jews & Christians use it, so it flows between all 3 of these religions
