[Opinions] twins
Hello!I already have two kids, two girls. Their names are Taylor Aliza and Sydney Jael. We are expecting twins soon. We don't want to know weather they're two girl, two boys or a girl and a boy. Their second name should be hebrew like Aliza and Jael. We already have three hebrew names that we like: boys: Raphael and Jonah, girl: Noa. We still need one hebrew name for a girl and four other names. Do you have any idea?Thanks!

I would suggest that if you have boys you give them the most masculine names you can think of to help balance out the cross-gender names on your girls.Daniel Raphael (Dan)
Anthony Raphael
Douglas Jonah
Jasmine Noa
Naomi Ruth

Nice combos! But you may want to spell the "J" as "Y" (Jonah -> Yonah) and Rachel as Rahel to make it look 100% Hebrew. :)

Miss Claire,I read you know lots of hebrew names. What do you think of the name Elisheva? I started to like that one. I also like the names Ariel and Yaron. Do you have any idea which hebrew names are rare in Israel and which are not?

Hullo, it's me! lolIn fact, the Hebrew for Elizabeth is Elisheva, and the Hebrew for Judith is Yehudit. :)You can go here to find others: http://www.behindthename.com/nmc/jew.html and http://www.behindthename.com/nmc/bibl.html (if you’re Jewish, be careful not to chose a name with Christian or pagan connotations: Shimon is good, Simeon isn’t, and isn’t Hebrew anyway)
Here, you'll find original Hebrew names: http://www.hebrewletters.com/results.cfm?catid=198About the pronounciation:
“i” = y, not “eye” or a long “ee”
“Ch“ = “kh“ (like hiJo, aCHtung…)
“E” = like in „stEAk“, never „fAde“ or „dAY“ (no „ee“ sound after it), and „e“ is never „uh”, “ee”…
“eth”, “ith” are always prononced "et", "it", not like in "the" or "thin".
A few of my favs:
Yocheved (God’s glory) wrongly listed as male (!!) under Jochebed
Lilia (what is mine is also God's)
Nevia (prophetess)
Miriam
Esther
Rahel (ra-khel)
Tova
Symelia (form of Syma, the Aramaic for "treasure" and also feminine form of Shimmel and pet form of Simcha)
Malka
Eden
Doda (Aramaic feminine form of David, also used as feminine form of David in Europe during the Middle Ages)
Zahava (golden)
Hannah
Batyah
Michal
Nachala (estate, inheritance)
Nechama (consolation)
Necha / Nacha (rest)
Shelomith (original Hebrew form of Salome)I hope you find a name you love!
