This is a challenge for you naming gurus!
I'm super private about names, so I'm using my alter ego here to ask this question. I hope that this is ok! I promise I'm not as much a newbie as I appear.
DH and I are leaning towards the names Dena or Dalia as a first name for baby girl. We would like to use a name starting with the letter D to honor a family member who passed. I'd open to hearing suggestions for other D names.
We tend to like names that are recognizably Hebrew/Jewish but still relatively easy to pronounce. We generally like more modern Israeli names than biblical names (although some on our list are biblical names, so it's not a hard and fast rule.) Our last name is two syllables, ends in "n," and is not a Jewish last name.
I'm trying to pick a girl's Hebrew middle name beginning with the letter R, M or Ch, also for naming after a family member who passed. The Ch is the guttaral Hebrew ch, not Ch as in "Charlie" or "Chase." I wouldn't want Ch in a first name and have to deal with mispronunciations, but I'm more potentially ok with it as a middle name.
Possible middle names are:
Ruth (front runner at the moment, except that we'd rather use M or Ch. R was the first letter of the family member's English name, but we recently found out that his Hebrew name was M--- Ch----, and we'd like to find a name to use after his Hebrew name if we can find one we like)
Miriam
Merav
Maytal
Chaya
I like Chaya as a middle name, but I don't love it with Dena or Dalia because of the double "a" endings.
Thoughts? Combinations you like? Other ideas you'd like to throw out?
