[Opinions] Hebrew girls' names ending in -t
I've noticed there's quite a few Hebrew girls' names that end in t, usually but not always in -at or -it. Here are the ones I could think of (I put an asterisk next to those I like and would consider using):Anat
Einat*
Drorit
Dganit
Liat (not sure about this one, I never know if I like the meaning or not)
Ronit (like the meaning but I don't like "Ron" names)
Irit*
Idit (it's user-submitted)
Shulamit
Yehudit*
Reut

Advanced name seach is a great help:
http://www.behindthename.com/php/search.php?terms=*t&name=yes&gender=f&usage=jew&operator=orOut of the ones you suggested, I like:
Liat
- Lol about the meaning! I don't really like L-t names (Linnet, Lotte, Lita, Leto) names though, they are always kind of dry.
Ronit
- I love it! I'm actually thinking of adding it to my PNL.
(Idit is more or less fine, but too close to idiot)
Shulamit
- On my PNL spelled Shulammite. Shulamit is much more useful, though.
Yehudit*
- I kind of prefer Judith pronounced the French way, but Yehudit is more light and interesting.
Reut
- It's gorgeous! I like my favourite is Ruth, but Reut is more... honest? I like also:
Efrat
- I have been lately into Ef-Af names.
Keshet
- The meaning is very precious, but I like the sound.
Livnat was some time on my PNL, but nowadays I prefer Livna or Liv.
Tzufit
- The meaning is very pretty - I adore bird-related names!
Zivit
- Much better than all the Lucy-names! :D

Thanks for the extra suggestions! I meant to put Efrat but then forgot about it. I love the meaning of Keshet but not the sound. I wasn't familiar with Tzufit and Zivit but I really like them, esp. Tzufit, since I like Zipporah.
