Israeli/Hebrew boy's name - which one you like?

[OKmum]

For years had a name for a girl, and oops! it's a boy. 36 weeks now and still don't have a name, will you help me choose one? Has to be a Hebrew name (hubby's demand) and pronounceable/nice-sounding for UK English speakers (as we're here to stay).
What do you think of these options I have so far?
Gili
Ziv (nickname Zivi)
Adi (nickname Didi)
Tal

why is that? is there another meaning to this name that I'm missing?

How about Asa? Not sure if it's used in modern Israel but there are a few contemporary examples (eg Asa Butterfield, actor) I think it's lovely.

Asa means Physician or cure btw

I do like Ira (eg Ira Gershwin) as well, mentioned up thread

If you say something is "diddy" it means tiny.

I like Gil.

What about Itan (or is it spelt Etan)?

Ha ha! good one! (diddy)

How's Ira pronounced? Is it Ee-ra or Ay-ra?

Asa
Elias
Saul
Gideon
Benjamin
Reuben
Levi

I meant Eitan not Etan. It means strong and I think it's a lovely name and easy to pronounce.

I'm no help at all, I love them all.
Like Elias especially, even though that wasn't on your list.

You can pronounce Ira both ways. I prefer eye-ra

I think Etan or is it aytan? Is cool.

I'm still campaigning for dovid/David though.

What about Moshe? Or moss?

Hebrew names I like

Ira (eye-ra and a close friend)
Elijah
Saul
Matthew
Peter

Adi but I would have it short for Adam

Reuben is a fab name.

I really liked elias but worry that the 'lie' part would get him teased at school.

Love Ezra.

I also like Matan, Amir, Nadav, Shai and Noam.

I love all of them.

I also love:

• Omri
• Eitan/Eytan
• Ariel (although not so great in UK because of washing powder)
• Eli
• Gidon

Like all of them. Out of curiosity, how do what are seen here as traditionally 'Jewish' names (eg Malachi, Isaac, Joshua) read in Israel?

RalphRecklessCardew - traditionally Jewish names are more common I think within traditional or orthodox families. Also they are pronounced different, so for instance 'Joshua' would be 'yehoshua', 'Isaac' would be 'Yitzchak'.

In our 'milieu' of - how shall I describe it? secular/liberal middle class families? the preference is usually for a more 'modern' Hebrew sounding name.
