[quote=Anonymous]Jewish and Hebrew speaking NP here. OP, I vote Tziporah. I think the "h" makes it look like less of a pharmaceutical name/typo. The last letter of the name in Hebrew is hay, so it's 100% legit. As for the T, "pizza" and "tsunami" are great examples to give people who will give you/your little bird problems about the name. I think Zipporah is a perfectly acceptable variant, but can see why you want to avoid it. It will induce people to get the pronunciation slightly wrong, like they do with Hanukkah. The initial sound of Hanukkah is really the "ch" so the "Chanuka" variants are more accurate transliterations. Any of the variants starting with Z will get you some version of "zipper-uh," at least with a Tz people might think to ask first. [/quote]
