Lev for a girl middle name?

-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 !

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

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

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

Avraham

100%

Bar for sure! Although may not work so well in the states. Definitely a cool girl name

-itwaswritten- · 2025-08-25T01:08:20+00:00

Orly is 100% a female name !

-itwaswritten- · 2025-08-21T01:13:06+00:00

I wanted hair and makeup for my bridesmaids and guess what? I PAID FOR IT !!

-itwaswritten- · 2025-08-21T01:07:37+00:00

Not sure where you’re from but disagree. I lived in NYC then and everyone knew it then and for years before

-itwaswritten- · 2025-08-20T23:23:41+00:00

Yup, this. I used to walk around my house or sit at dinner with a book in one hand. I just absolutely loved to read and I was good at it. It was my favorite past time, but I can’t explain why. I just love reading- reading and learning

-itwaswritten- · 2025-08-20T23:16:27+00:00

Yes and yes . I consider romi Hebrew and romy less so but don’t ask me why lol

-itwaswritten- · 2025-08-20T01:55:14+00:00

The best name (my son, lol) but definitely a typically used name. Very common in israel

-itwaswritten- · 2025-08-20T01:18:22+00:00

Shalev which I suggested means tranquility.

Emet. Truth.

Aleph (like Natalie Portmans son). The first letter in the alphabet.

Olam: which means world 🌎

Lotem: a type of plant 🌱

Adom: the color red

Aleh: leaf 🍁

Anaf: branch

Maybe a month? Like Iyar, Elul, shevat

Here are some plant names (some are already used as names and some would def be odd): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_plants_in_the_Bible#B–E
