[name_u]Love[/name_u] Raisel, Fredye, and Mirele. I think I might like the phonetic [name_f]Frayda[/name_f] or maybe [name_f]Freyda[/name_f] spelling better tho. I’d also suggest [name_f]Bluma[/name_f], [name_f]Tzeitel[/name_f], and Zissel.

oh, this is such a beautiful list!!
I voted for [name_f]Yetta[/name_f] because its a gorgeous name, and I love that it’s a family name! I also really love [name_f]Freyde[/name_f], Mirele, and Raisel!!
I don’t know any of those names in real life, but I do know a sort of similar [name_f]Rochelle[/name_f]! It’s pronounced differently though!!
I was also going to suggest [name_f]Bluma[/name_f]! I think its so lovely.
here are some other suggestions, though I’m not 100% sure they’re what you’re looking for (also, I might be off on whether the name is Yiddish or not, as I havent done extensive research on them! sorry if some of them arent!!):
Alte
[name_f]Baila[/name_f]
Bielke
Chasha
[name_f]Eidel[/name_f]
[name_f]Elka[/name_f]
Elkie
[name_f]Etta[/name_f]
Gitte
[name_f]Golde[/name_f]
