Hello all,
Currently looking for Hebrew names for boys. We’ve decided on Talia for a girl but are struggling for boys names.

Oooh I love Lev.

I think Adiel is a really nice Hebrew name you don't hear often - can be male or female
Gavriel
Zohar - meaning 'brilliance' is really lovely too.
Gilad - meaning 'joyful' (it's pronounced with a hard 'G')

Lemuel, Micah & Doron

We have an Oren and an Amos. Not met any others with those names so fairly uncommon but was traditional enough to please older relatives

Oren means pine/ash tree and we use Moss for Amos so both plant/botanical themed. We love their names

We really love Liev or Levi. It also works well for the Russian side of the family when shortened to Lev.

Ishmael is technically Hebrew and it's beautiful.

BigMandsTattooPortfolio · 12/04/2024 19:19

dh is a David and he has this problem. But it’s a lovely name and it means ‘Beloved’.
