Help[Opinions] Re: For those of you just as nutsy about Hebrew names as I am
in reply to a message by BrilliantBlue
I believe Aviva is quite popular now. I know two girls from Israel with the name and another few who are Jewish Americans that are called Aviva as well. (My university is 40% Jewish.) Another you don't have that is popular at my school is Adina (g). I think I saw on another name site that Maya is becoming popular in Israel. At my school I also know a few Esthers and a Shoshana. I've heard of several Talias, but I only know one personally. And Rebecca/Rebekah is really, really popular among the Jewish Americans at my school as well.
Most of the boys at school are named David or Benjamin. I know two Anats who are both male and several Levis.
ETA: I forgot to mention that I adore the name Yocheved, and outside of anywhere with a large Hebrew-speaking population, people wouldn't realize that it's dated or whatever. So I think it's fine unless of course you are in Israel.
