DH and I have been trying to think of girls names with no luck. We would like to give our LO a Hebrew name but do not want it to be too difficult or unusual in English.

We are team yellow and the boy?s name is pretty much finalised. Just don?t know what to do about the girl?s name. Please take a look at our list ? not overly sold on any of them TBH but would welcome your thoughts and suggestions.

Ariella (could shorten to Ella if she wanted a more ?English? sounding name)
Ofira
Orli
Chanah (Could be Hannah in English)
Ayala

Or should we just go for an English name and be done with it? Or hope that it?s a boy and stop worrying!

i love the name ariella. think its lovely. and like you say, could always shorten it to ella for more english sounding. i think shell be proud of her name though, and its always lovely to have something a little exotic. My partners name is seth caleb and he loved having a different name through school etc. ( well, it was different and exotic at the time. lol) also think orli is funky. :)
