|  |     Well Roger, there's always the popular(maybe not in this country)name
    Gila.  I can't think of others right now, but that's a start.

| 155.2 | here's one... | CADSYS::RICHARDSON |  | Tue Jul 08 1986 12:49 | 6 | 
|  |     My Hebrew name is "Gevorah", which means "strong" (same as my English
    name, Charlotte, means).  I'll look up some more tonight, if I get
    a chance.  Personally, I wouldn't saddle an American child with
    an unusual name like Gevorah unless you live in a very religious
    community (my sister-in-law named her daughter Rina Batya, but where
    she lives that won't be unusual...).

|  |     I'm not looking for an overly religious name.
    
    My 5-1/2 year old daughter's English name is Kira (Hebrew is Yakira).  
    I really believe that it is pretty, easy to spell and actually simple.
    My wish is to find something equally as good.
    
    Thank you.

| 155.4 | Will she have the gift of gab? | WHICH::DIAMOND |  | Tue Jul 08 1986 15:32 | 6 | 
|  |     I've always liked Gabriela.  I'm not sure of the implications of
    the name, but it sounds nice.  I've known a couple Israelis with
    this name.  The nickname, Gabby, can be a little demeaning though.
    
    Good luck and congradulations!

| 155.5 | Try one of These... | TAV02::ALLIN1V2 | Le'Chaim | Wed Jul 09 1986 02:05 | 15 | 
|  |     Some more choices:
    
    Gita 	(From Yiddish for Good)
    Geulah	(Redemption)
    Gilah	(Happiness)
    Gevira	(Strength)
    Gali	(Ocean Waves)
    
    Hope these help.

| 155.6 | Different versions of same names | RANI::HOFFMAN |  | Wed Jul 09 1986 19:39 | 6 | 
|  | 
Galya or Galit (wave) is, I think, more dignified than Gali...
Gavriella (Hebrew version of Gabrielle) has more panache...

|  |     	When she is a teenager you will be saying the following:
    
    God, why don't you clean up your room.
    
    God, get off the phone.
    
    God, are you still eating.
 | 
| 155.8 | some more... | CADSYS::RICHARDSON |  | Thu Jul 10 1986 18:11 | 11 | 
|  |     How about:
    
    Golda or Goldie (gold)
    Geula (redemption)
    Gevirah (kingly)
    Gabriela (G-d is my strength)
    Gila (joy)
    Gada (happy/lucky)
    Gafna (vine)
    Galit (hill, mound, wave)
    Ganit or Ganice (garden)

| 155.9 | and more... | DSSDEV::DAVISON |  | Thu Jul 10 1986 18:49 | 4 | 
|  |     How about Giselle or Glenda.  I like the sound of Giselle, that's
    all.  I don't know why I like Glenda.

| 155.10 | Well, there's always grandma's name... | MYVAX::LSCHWARTZ |  | Fri Aug 22 1986 13:13 | 4 | 
|  |     My grandmothers name before it was changed to Gertrude was Gazella
    although it sounds corny to a lot of people, I kind of like it. 
    Otherwise, my more serious suggestion would be Galina (a Russian
    name).

| 155.11 | Didn;t see this yet | RICKS::KRAVITZ | Terrapin | Sat Oct 11 1986 18:13 | 6 | 
|  |     How about:	Gail (or Gale)
    
    My grandfather's second wife's grand-daughter's name, and many others'
    I'm sure.  The ivrit could be up to you.
