Hebrew boy names suggestions please!

[Stevie77]

As only like girl names, and oops, it's apparently a boy!

Must be pronounced the same in Hebrew and English, for example, sister's name is Ella.

No Adam or Ben or really old fashioned biblical names like Ezra. What do you think about Ori? Easy to say in English?

Thankfully we have time to decide and think about it!

Asher Barak David (obv!) Jonathan Judah Joshua

Not sure about Ori, but I like Oren.
What about Ariel? Avigdor? Nathaniel?

Are you looking for names that would work in Israel, as trends and fashions there would obviouly have to be taken into account, if you want to avoid giving a name that would sound too dated...

Seth. Jude as in judah?

Reuben?

Asher
David
Reuben
Nathan

Asa
Isaac
Simeon

Asher is my all time favourite though.

I love Avital cos I love avi as a nn

VitaminC Yes, definitely want a name that would also work in Israel. But OH is British and we live in the UK so it has to work both ways as much as possible.

Thanks everyone else, but whilst some of these names are lovely, they are definitely in the old fashioned, biblical category. Am not Orthodox and have no intention giving a name mostly used by Jewish Orthodox, no offence.

Rafi?

Sorry, that came out ruder than I meant pregnancy hormones

We had the same challenge.

I have a ds with a similar name to 'Ori' and it isn't the easiest to live with here...it's fine as he can spell it quickly, but everyone assumes he's just dropping a consonant when he first introduces himself.

How about:

Liran
Matan
Miel
Elai
Nadav
Nitzan

Saul?

How about Ezekiel (nickname Zeke)?

Samuel is also very nice, Malachi and Moses are also popular in the US

Elias
Tobias

I'm gonna give you my favourite name ever, and if I ever have another son this will be his name. Effron it means singing bird and I love it. I didn't like it at first (know someone called it) but the longer I have known the name the more and more I love it.

Thanks Fillybuster, of your list I don't mind Elai. If your son's name is what I think it is, it is one of my favourites but alas my cousin's name.

I quite like how Effron rolls off the tongue Dragons but it reminds me too much of a name of a settlement and not in a good way :-/

I said I was fussy!

Ilan. ilan.

Love the name Ori. Who cares if some people spell to wrong? I've spent my whole life spelling out my name & once I've done so once, its never normally forgotten.

I like Ariel, nn Ari and Avram nn Avi.

How about Noam? That's fairly ubiquitous in terms of style/feel, although extremely popular in Israel right now, I think...

Tal? Maybe even Tom? Guy?

Some other slightly more "out there" suggestions:
Saar
Sela
Stav
Paz
Eitan
Amit
Aden
Adi
Asaf
Agam
Shai
Ziv

Liam. In English it means 'protection', in Hebrew it means 'my people'.

I love Ira please will someone use it!

Avner?

Lior
Ron (of course this one is especially easy for English speakers!)
Tal

I really like Ori, and it's not that difficult to learn to pronounce once you've been told once. Also really like. Akiva, Herschel, Asa, Gal and Gavi.

Guy, Adley, Tobias/Tobi/Tovi, Phineas, Jude, Deron lack obvious Hebrew/Biblical connotation and have a modern, up-beat ring to them.
