I love Aviva and Rifka (know one of each) but I'm not remotely Jewish so would feel odd using them but I love them.

Carmel is hebrew I think!

LynetteScavo · 18/12/2008 20:42

I love Alia.

LynetteScavo · 18/12/2008 20:42

Ah....we are not well read. And that includes the baby name dictionary.

hester · 18/12/2008 20:42

I had a good friend called Hephzibah, and I come from a family of Ruths, so I love those names. Hephzibah may not go down well in the playground, though

Ariel/Arielle is getting very popular with little Jewish girls.

I also like Soreh and Manya.

tassisssss · 18/12/2008 20:42

Miriam

A new one was born today - congrats Twiga!!

Blandmum · 18/12/2008 20:41

Abishag was the name of the girl who was sent to warm the bed of David when he was an dirty old man

Blu · 18/12/2008 20:34

hepzibah

LynetteScavo · 18/12/2008 20:32

Jewish girls names

LynetteScavo · 18/12/2008 20:30

I thought Abishag was a boys name.

(DH only got that far in the baby name dictionary before he gave up!)

rubyslippersisappearinginpanto · 18/12/2008 20:28

oh yes, LOVE Rivka

am yearning for a yael myself

Blandmum · 18/12/2008 20:28

Abishag

might not fly, that one

pellmell · 18/12/2008 20:27
