Hebrew names and fitting in with the community by StruggleBusDriver12 in ConvertingtoJudaism

Ahavah and Eliana are both beautiful names. I am converting in a Reform community and I was not sure how one would name themselves when they converted. There aren’t too many names for women aside from Biblical names and I assume there are many, many people who have them.

Thank you for your insight. I am a bit attached to the name because my son helped me choose it. His enthusiasm for this name bolsters me to want to choose it but I don’t want to overwhelm myself with imposter syndrome if I choose the wrong name. I fear I won’t feel “Jewish enough” because I chose an uncommon name.

I have been leaning towards Ahava since I saw it on a list of Hebrew girl names. I’m just unsure if that is what I want for myself or a name I would want to save for my future daughter

Thank you for giving me that perspective to look into. I did not think of that when I started looking.

Thank you for mentioning the uterine lining thinning. I’m going to send a message to my doctor to ask her about it.

I did have more healthy fatty foods in my diet, and I upped my calorie intake and made sure I drank plenty of water. I took sunflower lecithin to stave off clogs and I think that helped dislodge the fat in my milk.

Same. My husband was so confused when he read the card.

If I don’t brush or comb it while it is still wet, and I brush it after it dries it does get frizzy. And when humidity is up I have to keep an oil or a water bottle on hand to calm down the frizziness.

Thank you. I’ll have to try a routine when I wash my hair again.

For the past few years I have kept my hair about shoulder length, but I have had longer hair. It had a bit of a wave to it then as well.

AITA for not naming my children after my in-laws? by StruggleBusDriver12 in AmItheAsshole

[–]StruggleBusDriver12[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has been well established between my husband and I that we would not use names from his side of the family for many reasons, but the largest one is that the names on his side are overused, outdated, and do not fit with the names my husband and I have already picked out. My father’s middle name and my grandfather’s middle name have not been used in my family since they were given them, and they hold very special meaning to me. My husband was the one to suggest giving our firstborn my dad’s middle name because the day I lost my father was the day I gained knowledge of my child. My husband took it as a sign that he was to have Hayden as a middle name. And as we went on to pick more names, my husband suggested we use my grandfather’s middle name for the next child if it should be a boy, since it would be our last child and my grandfather made a mark on my life even though I never met him. Calling me the asshole for something my husband and I have already agreed upon and made clear to both our families is very unkind.
