Most of these are not Hebrew names. |
We are Om-Shalomers too!
My DH (the Jewish one) kept trying to convince me of Seth. He said it was Indian, but I vetoed it. I love Avi but the pronunciation is different. I like the Hindi pronunciation Uvi, but the Hebrew pronunciation is Aavi. We ended up going with an Indian name since he got the Jewish last name. |
This is already on your list but I think Mira is perfect for this combo. |
The Hebrew word/name is SimCHa ("ch" pronounced as in Chanukah or challah, not chicken). Most non-Jews in America can't pronounce "ch" names correctly because we don't have that sound in English. |
Mira is the only name I like. |
Since this thread is 2 years old, OP has probably already picked a name. |
I love this name, but literally every Hindu-Jewish couple I know that has a girl has a Mira/Meera/Mirah (5 of them, none of whom know each other!). |
OP, what'd you name your baby??
|
Ruhi. Means my soul, wind, air in both Hindi and Hebrew. It's also my wife's niece (who's Hindu... I'm Jewish) |
Maya is Hebrew but idk if it is also Indian. |
Lol |
Sorry if this sounds patronising, but I love that you have made such a baby. My DH I have given birth to four Carribean-jewish babies over the last 7 years. May the world cultural blending continue. |
Mira is an absolutely beautiful name. |
Of the girl names you have here, Mira and Neta are the most perfect names ever. Mira<Neta. Among the boys names the reality is do you want to have your son go through life with the world seeing him as a jewish boy or not. Because a boy with this sort of heritage and appearance will be seen a jewish boy...which is fine, because I have this sort of combination, but let's be real, here. > |
(pressed "submit" too soon). I meant to add if you go with "Avi". |
