[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op- i've decided on the z spelling. I searched "tzipora" on facebook and most of the women seem to be jewish, which according to most people on dcum apparently will be a lot of pressure on our only marginally jewish child. When i searched "zipora" a much more ethnically diverse pool of people showed up- asian, latina, black, and jewish. [/quote]

So you're going with the pharmaceutical version?[/quote]

OP is quite funny. She asks for feedback, but doesn't really want it. I'm done here. OP, best of luck![/quote]

Op- oh i got plenty of feedback which informed my decision. How long did u want this thread to go on?! Did u have anything else to add?

In summary: 
Tzipora- hard to pronounce for lazy people, our family is not "orthodox jewish enough" and our daughter will get interrogated often by nosy people who want to know why she has such a jewish name

zipora- sounds like medication, makes people think of ziploc bags and zippers, is not spelled the anglicized biblical way

Both names- should emd in h, shiuld have double pp, is an ugly name regardless and oir daughter will hate us, we should just name our daughter rachel or something normal.[/quote]

Oh come on now OP.  That's just rude.  I'm the pp who suggested the -h based on the Hebrew spelling and I was way supportive. You even thanked me.  Your OP acknowledges you knew this would be a DCUM-troversy. What did you really want from us, since a simple online search is all you needed to make your decision?[/quote]
