Please look at my boys list and inspire me/comment...

[HarderToKidnap]

Hello,

Our girls name is Leah (Sophia possibly as a second option in case Leah doesn't fit). Our surname is Friedmann.

Boys are slightly more problematic. I am an inveterate shortener, so a good shortening is essential. Preferably a Hebrew name. I think vowel-sounding word endings are the best at running on to our surname, rather than consonant ones. Anyway, here is our list - please comment and suggest any others!

Jonah
Nathaniel
Seth
Saul
Theodore
Jude

Thanks in advance...

Mmmm not sure of what would be classed as Hebrew names- biblical ones from the OT?

Anyway, here are some names I like-
Arlo
Innes
Joshua
Joel
Enzo
Eli

I like all your suggestions but think Theodore goes better with your surname than any of the others.

My fave name on your list is Jonah though.

Jonah - Nice, lots of good NN
Nathaniel - ok, ish
Seth - I like lots, but struggles with no long version for when you are really annoyed with him
Saul- don't like
Theodore - I like lots, loads of NN
Jude - don't like

And I'll put Josiah (Jed, Jo) and Gideon (Gids, Giddy) up for comment.

Saul and Jude i adore! Definately my faves on your list!

Jonah is lovely too and i would love to have a Seth but him indoors would never allow it!

Theodore is a great name, but sadly my daughter is constantly a chipmunk anyway!

Nathaniel - not for me!

Isaac
and others people have mentioned

Samuel

I think Theodore is a bit of a mouthful - if you live somewhere that TH is pronounced as F , like here, then he would easily become Feodore Friedmann.
that would drive me a bit batty.

Out of your list of names op I like Jude best and really dislike Seth, has a real lanky haired metal head vibe to it for me!

Nathaniel
and prefer
Sophia Leah with your surname

I'm not keen on any of your suggested names, tbh but if I had to choose I'd go for Seth.

JUDE

I love them all, faves are Seth and Saul unless you have a family tencdency to lisp or stammer, then I'd go for Nathaniel NN Nat.

Jonah -- love, and would go well with your surname
Nathaniel -- like a lot, also like nn Nat
Seth -- makes me think of snakes, and hissing. The TH of Seth and the F of Friedmann require a bit too much adjustment of the tip of the tongue when they meet.
Saul -- nice, a good strong name; sounds good with Friedmann.
Theodore love very nice with surname. Theo as a nn would be nice too.
Jude -- love, again very nice with surname.

Would you consider
Solomon
Isaac
Ezra

Zachary?

I like Solomon as well, and Sol Friedmann sounds lovely.

Leo
Milo
Hugo
Inigo
Arlo all sound great with Friedmann, if not strictly Hebrew they do sound 'right' on a Jewish boy!

What about Arthur and you could call him Artie?

Thanks so much for the feedback everyone, I also like Solomon and will be adding that to the list! DH and I have fallen hard for Jonah so good to see it getting the general thumbs up.

whatever you call him he's going to sound like an economist!

Oh go on, call him Zachary - please????

Zac Friedmann - how cool is that?

Jonah is lovely.

I like Solomon
Saul
Jonah and
Jude (although I think it flows less well with Friedmann)

Also, would you consider

Joel
Levi

I love Leah as well

Solomon flows less well, too

Also, my fave name

Asa

and

Malachi

Me again

Asher?
