The page for “[name_m]Adonai[/name_m]” doesn’t list its Hebrew Origin or meaning. People should know that they are essentially naming their sons “God”.

What about Yve? It’s a nickname for [name_f]Yvonne[/name_f] or [name_f]Yvette[/name_f]. Pronounced like [name_f]Eve[/name_f]— it’s like [name_m]Yves[/name_m], except for a girl.

I would love to see Gaura in the index. It is pronounced GAU-rah, if I’m not mistaken. It is a flower name that is also known as Whirling Butterflies, so it would probably lean more toward a girl’s name.
The closest name you have in the index is the Hindi name [name_f]Gauri[/name_f], a girl’s name meaning fair, pale.
The Gaura flower aka Whirling Butterflies

I forgot Vasundhara on this list. All are female.
Not [name_f]Indian[/name_f] but I also know a Sameera. I think it’s a variation of [name_f]Samira[/name_f]

Delby!! (unisex)
I know it’s VERY rare, but maybe if it’s on nameberry it would gain popularity (as in maybe have 1 birth a year 
) There have only been five recorded births of people named Delby since 1922 to 2018 
but here is some info anyway.
I can’t find a meaning, sorry!
