Expecting a girl - we're thinking either Adina or Aviv (my husband is pushing for Maytal but I think that might be a bit too "out there"). Also Yael but I think it's a bit overdone (though beautiful). We have a DS named Micah. Thoughts? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

We thought about Aviva, but my husband decided it sounded "too Jewish" for a child from a mixed marriage. (We have a Jewish last name). But I guess that's what you're going for. All of these names sound fine to me. I even like Maytal. [ Reply | More

And I wasn't meaning that to be snarky. I just wanted to make sure you like the nicknames as you won't have a lot of control over that. I like my son's full name, it's not long. 80% of people call him a shortened nickname. [ Reply | More

I like all of those names. Maytal to me seems really beautiful and not out there (and I don't have any cultural connection to these names). [ Reply | More

(Christian white chick here FWIW) I know you're looking at Aviv but personally I love Aviva. It's my best friend's name. I think it's beautiful but also has an edge to it and makes me think of someone vivacious and full of life. [ Reply | More
