Lior, Noa or Tamar

[DaisyJoy1]

What do you think? For a girl.

Tamar
lior Is a masculine name isn’t if? Feminine would be liora which is pretty

I've always loved Noa for a girl, but Noah has been far too popular for boys recently, which would put me off. I like the PP's suggestion of Liora

Ah see I thought Tamar sounded quite masculine. “Lior” looks like a washing detergent to me. And “Noa” just looks like you’ve misspelt “Noah”. Are you in the UK OP? As they all seem like odd choices to me personally. Do love a nice Old Testament name generally though. Agree Liora is pretty. How about Liva?

Leonora? Lior is a Jewish boys name

Lior is a Jewish unisex name 😊 They're all Hebrew names.

Liora is nice but very dated in certain communities.

Lior sounds like Liar.
Noa too close to Noah.
Tamar is a large river between Devon & Cornwall.

Leah or Tamara?

I love Tamar. It's a timeless name.

Tamar (or Tamara) is nice and still reasonably unusual. Noa could be nice but unfortunately sounds the same as Noah, which is so well known as a boy's name. The possible confusion in the future would put me off.

Never heard of Lior, but the pp tells us it's a boy's name. It doesn't sound particularly nice really, and looks similar to 'liar' written down. You could use Lia or Leah? Sorry to be negative, I am just giving you my impressions of the names.

I love Noa!

Love both Tamar and Noa

Noa is beautiful!

I like all three but you might find people are confused by where to put the emphasis on Tamar (Ta-MAR Vs TAY-mar).

You might also like Leonor?

Love Noa for a girl.

Noa is sooo common where I live. It’s the “Ava” of Catalunya so I’m bored of it. In the UK I guess it’s fine, but a bit of a nothing name. Lior and Tamar both sound like male names to me so I prefer Liora and Tamara, and as someone who doesn’t pronounce the “r”, they feel nicer to say. Also I know a truly brilliant Tamara so good associations.

I've never known a female Lior.

Liora?

I don't like Noa.

Tamar is a bit abrupt.

How about:

Varda
Tali
Haddasah
Meital
Danya

I'm confused by all three names honestly...but that's only because I've quite literally never heard of or met anyone (girl or boy) with those names 🤷‍♀️ I'm a primary school teacher too, so thought I'd seen/heard them all 🤣 I'd say pick whichever you like...it's your baby, what does it matter what anyone else thinks as long as it's not actually offensive! 🥰

For PPs who think the names sound made up, Tamar is the No 1 name for girls in Israel and Noa is No 4, they are very mainstream Jewish names...

Lior is my favourite. I love it even though I usually hate the current Israeli unisex trend. So many little girls and young women with middle aged men's names 😂

I've always loved Noa but I think it is getting a bit overused. It is a close second for me.

I really don't like Tamar but I have no logical reason why 😂I think the PP who suggested that people won't know how to pronounce it is correct. Noa and Lior are easier to pronuonce correctly for people unfamiliar with the name.

Noa and Tamar are both beautiful. I'm not keen on Lior for girls, although I'm well aware the Hebrew names are valid for both sexes

I do hate the trend to give unisex or boys' names to girls. There is always a drift as they become girls' names over time. Basically because no one would dream of giving their boy a girls' name.

'Boy' is a promotion; 'girl' is a demotion. There are so many wonderful Hebrew girls' names.

Tamar is lovely. The other two are nice but I'd assume they were male.

If you’re in the UK you will likely get a lot of mispronunciations of Tamar to sound like the river in Devon/Cornwall. I like Lior!

Tamar I guess

I the the Noa / Noah confusion would be irritating
Lior I really don’t like - makes me think of either Liar or Lenore (the washing powder)

How about Elisheva?! That’s a killer name

Tamar. Do you have connections with Cornwall? Have you read the novel by Mal Peet. Really good.

I love them all!!

Tamar is my favourite
