| 371.1 | Tried "The Hebrew Name Dictionary"? | IAGO::SCHOELLER | Caught in an information firestorm | Tue Sep 22 1987 11:53 | 15 |
| Shalom Sandy, Jeff and Jaime,
Have you tried the Hebrew Name Dictionary. It's a big red paper back
book, available from the Israel Book store or the Schoeller lending
library. (I can send through internal mail 8^{) .)
It contains an extensive concordance of English and Hebrew names. It
also gives the correct Hebrew spellings, suggestions for
getting around the Teutonic name problems, and etymologies of the names.
If you want to borrow my copy let me know by mail and I will send it.

| 371.2 | Try Shayna | SRFSUP::PLAUT | Milt | Tue Sep 22 1987 16:37 | 7 |
| Nine years ago I named my daughter Shayna and she has lived up to
it. Perhaps you will consider Shayna if you have a girl. May you
have as much nachas with your new child as I have had with mine.
Lot's of Mazel. Shona Tova!

| 371.3 | How about Shirley or Sharon | RETORT::RON | | Wed Oct 07 1987 10:01 | 12 |
|
If you are considering names starting with the 'sh' sound, you may
like Shirley and/or Sharon. Both are Hebrew names, but sound
familiar to the American ear.
Shirley (pronounced in Hebrew Shier-lee) means 'my song'. Sharon
(pronounced in Hebrew Shu-ron, with the emphasis on the 'r'), is
used in Israel uni-sexually and for both given and surnames. It
refers to the central strip in the land of Israel.

How about Shulamite. That's something to sing about!
If a boy then Shimshon, that choice of name indicates good judgement.
And he should only be a schtarker! Mazel Tov.

| 371.5 | Shaina Elise is here! | RABBIT::HABER | kudos to working mothers of toddlers | Sat Dec 05 1987 17:41 | 12 |
| Shaina Elise, hebrew name Zesel Nechemya, arrived screaming on Oct.
25, 1987, at 6:51AM. She was a healthy 6 lbs, 12 oz and 20.5 inches.
We're all thrilled with her, especially her big brother (hope that
lasts!)
Thanks to everyone for your suggestions, and to Dick for lending
us his name dictionary -- very interesting.��
Shalom!

| 371.6 | Name Dictionary? | ABACUS::RADWIN | I think, fer sure | Sat Mar 17 1990 00:59 | 12 |
| In a note -- that I can't seem to relocate -- on children's names,
mention was made of a Name Dictionary. Anyone know where I can
locate it (the Dictionary, not the note) to either purchase or borrow.
Thanks,
Gene, who works in Merrimack, NH and lives in Chelmsford, MA

| 371.7 | Israel Book Shop | CLT::CLTMAX::dick | Schoeller - Failed Xperiment | Mon Mar 19 1990 16:40 | 10 |
| Gene,
I got it at Israel Book Shop on Harvard St. in Brookline. We now have serveral
different ones. The two best are both by Alfred Kolatch. The large red paper
back one being the better of the two (IMHO).
I would offer mine out to loan again but it is pretty regular use these days
at our house.

Gene -
Beth Elohim Library has a copy (in Acton). I am the librarian and can
coordinate with you if you want to borrow it. Send mail to Social::Waky
if you want to look into it -
Also, I'm quite sure that Israel Bookstore in Brookline or Kolbo, also
there, would have it for purchase - call them before you shlep into town
(both are open on Sundays for us working folks...)
