Hebrew girls' names?

48 replies

We are still stuck for a baby name, with DD due any day now.

Any ideas for nice Hebrew names? DP prefers names that sound a bit 'girly' (hmmm) so he will never let me have something like 'Vered' but there must be some other lovely names out there.

Preferably not starting with 'A', either :). Would love to hear your ideas!

Job's daughter was Jemimah (with the h, unlike the puddleduck...). It means dove.

Seraphina

You get a year to change the name at the gemeentehuis, ours did it foc after 3 months.

Abigail?
Zipporah?
Intifada?

Fillybuster · 12/11/2012 19:50

Shoshana is very dated - a bit 'old lady' these days, and the only Rifkis and Malkis I know are my great aunts!

I like Eliana, Liat, Tamara, Elia.

Or what about Lavannah (new moon) or Tzipporah (flame)?

Fillybuster · 12/11/2012 19:51

Sorry, not Tzipporah, I mean "Sephira" which does mean flame.

Caoimhe · 12/11/2012 19:53

Eliana is gorgeous.

Is Intifada a typo, DrSeuss? No-one would call a child that surely!!!

Hepzibah, Hepsi or Epsi for short.

GrimmaTheNome · 12/11/2012 19:54

Hepzibah, Hepsi or Epsi for short.

Or Eppy, as in Silas Marner?

CreamOfTomatoSoup · 12/11/2012 20:47

Hepzibah.

LineRunner · 12/11/2012 20:53

I know (Israelis) a:

Ahuva
Almog
Vardit
Ronni
Sarah
Lina

I like Vardit ('vardeet') best, I think.

GrrrArghZzzzYaayforall8nights · 12/11/2012 21:08

Another vote for Yael!

Serach/Serah,
Bithiah/Bitiah, (I think this is the girliest of them)
Davidyah,
Ketziah,
Ilana,
Nessia,
Shlom Tzion/Salome Alexandra,
Athaliah/Ataliah,
Ayelet,
Elisheva,
Ezrasheva (have seen the last one, I love how it flows though it's likely a mash name rather than traditionally used).

Kezia is one I really like! From somewhere biblical (no idea where)...

Chunkamatic · 12/11/2012 21:51

Hepzibah would have been my (now imaginary) DD's middle name. I believe it means "my love is in her".
