do you have any favorite jewish names that you find underrated?
Hmmā¦not really sure how Iād determine a name to be underrated. I wanted to name my first girl Miriam, but thatās my chossonās motherās Hebrew name so now we canāt use it.Ā ĀÆ\_(ć)_/ĀÆ But I donāt think thatās particularly underrated.
Most of the names I like for potential kidsā names I like because of the meaning or association with a particular person, not necessarily the name per se. Miriam HaNevia was awesome, and thatās also the closest Hebrew equivalent of my grandmotherās name, so thatās why I wanted that. I also have some really positive associations with Dina because of a sicha of the Rebbe about her, but I donāt love the name itself, so Iām not sure Iād use it. I also kind of want to name a girl after the Alter Rebbeās daughter Freida because she was also awesome, but I donāt like the nickname Freidy, so again, not sure Iād use it.
It happens to be I actually like the names Menachem Mendel and Chaya Mushka (definitely not underrated lol), but probably wouldnāt use them unless my chosson really really wants to, because I donāt want my kid to be the 15th one in the class with the same name.
