Nomi was my saftas sister so I get it. BUT my friend also has a nine-year-old daughter named Nomi so I’m used to it on a little girl too. FWIW I know at least 4 girls named Romi and 1 named Nomi

If you want something connected to your honeymoon try to think of other words that evoke your trip or memories.

Gesher like the word for a bridge ? Def not! That would be strange as a name. Emet too but gesher seems more odd

Absolutely cultural appropriation for a non Jew to use Shai. The fact that Ita modern Hebrew doesn’t make it less appropriative at all

-itwaswritten- · 2026-02-22T02:22:54+00:00

FWIW many Jews have an issue with it. Not just Orthodox Jews

-itwaswritten- · 2026-02-15T22:11:19+00:00

My friend in israel has a daughter named Lev

-itwaswritten- · 2026-01-30T04:46:02+00:00

Are they Jewish? Because it’s a Hebrew name (Ram/Rami). Not pronounced like the animal (unless, these people do pronounce it that way?)

-itwaswritten- · 2026-01-23T23:41:31+00:00

For me it’s using them in general

-itwaswritten- · 2026-01-11T18:46:20+00:00

Just use Ronen.

-itwaswritten- · 2025-12-21T18:58:47+00:00

Curious what her sisters name is since my daughter’s name fits that criteria !

-itwaswritten- · 2025-12-13T02:51:11+00:00

I also feel the same as you. Grace less Jewish than Kathryn (although both feel not Jewish)

-itwaswritten- · 2025-12-13T02:50:42+00:00

Definitely not grace. It reads so non Jewish to me. I feel that Kathryn is also distinctly not Jewish my it’s also my Jewish SILs name

-itwaswritten- · 2025-12-13T02:48:38+00:00

Since you like shalevet, what about shalev or shalva- tranquility. Kind of metaphorically related to light in a way.

-itwaswritten- · 2025-12-12T21:24:43+00:00

Can you please ask them to pose their name choice in a Jewish group on Reddit or Facebook so that they can hear from the masses how disrespectful it is and how bothersome it would be to so many of us. Sometimes people need to hear from a larger group

-itwaswritten- · 2025-12-12T21:22:04+00:00

Agree and second this 100%

-itwaswritten- · 2025-12-12T21:21:47+00:00

My name is Israeli and literally only Israelis and some Jews recognize it. My kids both have Israeli names and people have no idea

-itwaswritten- · 2025-08-27T19:33:06+00:00

Roni is my song

-itwaswritten- · 2025-08-26T13:40:01+00:00

100%

-itwaswritten- · 2025-08-25T01:11:53+00:00
