[name_m]Hi[/name_m]! I’m looking for a middle name to go with [name_f]Ariana[/name_f]. I’d prefer a Hebrew name, something thats popular in [name_m]Israel[/name_m] right now and 1-2 syllables. I love the name [name_f]Noa[/name_f], but I thought [name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_f]Noa[/name_f] might sound funny. I also like [name_f]Naomi[/name_f], but think [name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_f]Naomi[/name_f] is too much. Any ideas? Anyone? Thank you!!
I actually think [name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_f]Naomi[/name_f] or [name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_f]Noemi[/name_f] is brilliantly perfect! Not too much at all. A few Hebrew name ideas:
[name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_u]Lior[/name_u] (technically unisex, but I got the impression that it leans masculine? I think this sounds better than [name_f]Liora[/name_f] or [name_f]Eliora[/name_f], though…)
[name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_u]Adel[/name_u]
[name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_u]Tali[/name_u] (love this!)
[name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_f]Maya[/name_f]
[name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_f]Masha[/name_f]
[name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_f]Avigail[/name_f]
[name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_f]Ayala[/name_f]
[name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_u]Yael[/name_u] (so pretty!)
[name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_f]Shira[/name_f]
[name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_f]Tamar[/name_f]
[name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_u]Michal[/name_u]
[name_f]Ariana[/name_f] Tahel (love this!)
I think [name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_u]Tali[/name_u], [name_f]Ariana[/name_f] Tahel, [name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_u]Yael[/name_u], [name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_u]Adel[/name_u], and [name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_u]Lior[/name_u] are my favorites!
Good luck!
[name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_f]Noa[/name_f] and [name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_f]Naomi[/name_f] do sound quite rhymey to me, sorry. I’m not sure if they’re are actually popular in [name_m]Israel[/name_m] right now, but here are some Hebrew names that sound nice with [name_f]Ariana[/name_f]:
[name_f]Ariana[/name_f] Yonit
[name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_u]Yael[/name_u]/Ya’el
[name_f]Ariana[/name_f] Kinneret/Kineret
[name_f]Ariana[/name_f] Galit
[name_f]Ariana[/name_f] Meital
[name_f]Ariana[/name_f] Meirit
[name_f]Ariana[/name_f] Sigalit
[name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_f]Tamar[/name_f]
[name_f]Ariana[/name_f] Sapir
[name_f]Ariana[/name_f] Margalit
[name_f]Ariana[/name_f] Shachar/Shahar
[name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_f]Zivit[/name_f]
[name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_u]Shir[/name_u]
I got most of these from Behind the Name’s Hebrew list, there might be some more you like from here: Browse Names - Behind the Name
I adore Hebrew names. My name is [name_f]Naomi[/name_f]. Middle name [name_f]Ruth[/name_f].
I do not think [name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_f]Naomi[/name_f] sounds strange at all. Has a beautiful ring to it.
Other suggestions:
[name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_f]Hannah[/name_f]
[name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_f]Talia[/name_f]
[name_m]Even[/name_m] [name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_f]Ruth[/name_f] sounds great. (Bias a little!)
[name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_f]Lilah[/name_f]
[name_f]Ariana[/name_f] Meital and [name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_u]Yael[/name_u] are both so beautiful. A few other options:
[name_f]Ariana[/name_f] Chai: some might say this wouldn’t work in the US because of the “chai tea” reference, and the mispronunciation issues, but it’s a beautiful combination. Nameberry spells it [name_f]Chaye[/name_f], but Chai looks so beautiful.
[name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_f]Shani[/name_f]: The double -an sound might bother some people, but I think this has a beautiful, lively sound.
[name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_u]Tavi[/name_u]: Again, I really like the liveliness of this pairing. [name_f]Ariana[/name_f] seems to pair well with short names.
These are awesome suggestions. I’m liking [name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_u]Yael[/name_u]. [name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_u]Tavi[/name_u] is also interesting. Thoughts on [name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_f]Nomi[/name_f] instead of [name_f]Naomi[/name_f]?
