Do you have any recommendations for lists of Hebrew names? The ones I've been looking at have been pretty mixed in quality especially with meanings. Much love and thank you in advance! Your blog means a lot to me as someone pursuing conversion 💖

Hi! Names are HARD! As you've found, they are extremely subjective!

I will say, for Hebrew names, it's definitely best to look at Jewish websites rather than generic name lists. I haven't used these myself, but Aish has "boy names" and "girl names," as does Chabad ("boy" "girl"). The Chabad one includes context for the name origins where relevant, which is neat!

If these don't work for you, could you tell me a little more about what you want in a name? You mentioned name meanings; what sort of meaning are you going for? Do you want a name that is traditionally gendered a certain way? Any names you have on your list already?

Good luck!! I'm so glad you enjoy my blog, and I am happy to help in any way I can! 💙
