Does anyone out there have a book of Hebrew/Jewish names to lend or to
recommend? We expect our baby by the end of the month, and unlike with our
other 2 children, we cannot agree on a name that we both like and is
significant to us.

It would help if you could give a list of names that you two already
have discarded.

You might want to call any of the Temples in your area. There are
some good books around, although I can't recommend to you, Temple
librarians could.

The author/editor is Alfred Kolatch, who has published several
variations on the one mentioned. Look in your local library or
bookstore.

I have a book that has a list of Hebew names, both for boys and
girls. If you'd like I'll copy that section out of the book and
send it to you. Let me know.

Thanx to all that offerred help. Well, not everything in life can be
planned, and babies may have their own schedule. Our new son caught us by
surprise when he decided to "get born" (actively indeed) last early A.M,
Wednesday 13th, instead of Erev Rosh Hashana (or later, as the Dr. promised)
The birth was relatively easy and fast, and natural. The babyboy joins
big brother Avishay Anatole (9) and little sister Elinor Ayelet (5). All
are exhausted but thrilled. The baby is cute, active, and feels very well.
We chose (tentatively, thus far) for first name Shanee (Shane in English),
and middle names Amots (Amos in English) and Adam. Each name is very
special to us. Shanee has 5 special reasons to be chosen (and another
3 less important reasons), the middle names have also a few reasons each.
If you have a few minutes to kill, dare to ask me for the reasons
(but off line, pls). If you desire to kill another half-an-hour, ask why
Avishay, Elinor, etc.
There are only two things that bother us: My cousin tells me that Shanee
(or Shani) has become recently VERY popular in Israel, and especially (or
only?) among girls. Is it a TOO popular name (remember "all the Jennys
stand up!" and nobody remains sitting)? Is it a unisex, masculine, or
feminine name? If you have definitive knowledge, pls reply directly by
e-mail {ERLANG,FOCS1,DSMAIL,DSAD}::ARTSY, phone (DTN 226-7324,
H:603/881-7499 or 881-4951), or reply to this note, but ASAP -- the Brith
Thanx in advance,
Shaike

I like Shane. When pronounced the "American way" it almost sounds
like the Yiddish word for "Beautiful".
"Schejn" (apologies for any US customed misspellings).
Massel tov! As singen alle Chasidim!

Re .8:
Mazeltov! That's terrific.....glad to hear everything went well
for you.
My oldest daughter's name is Rebecca. We were originally going to
spell it "Rebekah" but we encountered such opposition that we decided
to spell it "Rebecca". However, when our youngest daughter arrived,
we named her "Abigail" which while not super well-received didn't
get certain people in our family as cranked up as "Rebekah".
Again, congratulations....

| 769.12 | What's Joshua for a girl? | ABACUS::RADWIN | I think, fer sure | Tue Jul 03 1990 17:10 | 13 |
I would appreciate help with jewish/hebrew names for a girl that
begin with "J."
Am particularly interested in female equivalents of Joshua.
Thanks,
Gene
