Help[Opinions] Help me with Hebrew boy names!
I'm not pregnant. Just obsessing about what I will name hypothetical children :)
There are many many many Hebrew girl names I love that aren't too common, are basically pronounceable in English, and are on the long (3-syllable) side, like Meira, Devorah, Ayala, Levana, Seraphine. However, for boys, I can't find any names that fit all those criteria that I like!
I like Nechemia, Menachem, Elchanan, but they're hard to pronounce in English because of the ch sound. Naphtali is in this boat because I want it said the Hebrew way like nahf-TAH-lee.
I don't like Mordecai, Solomon because they seem too old-man-ish to me.
I like Ariel, Aryeh, Ilan, Noam, Lev, etc., but they seem much more down-to-earth, simple names than the girl names I like, I'm not sure they would match.
I like Jonah, Elijah, (and would be willing to stretch the definition of Hebrew names for Silas or Ivan), but they're pretty popular.
Rafael is the only name I can think of that I like that meets these criteria but I can't use that due to family...
What would you compromise on here? Or can you suggest the perfect name to save me from any compromise?
Help my future theoretical children!
