I am in disbelief that I have opened this up for discussion, but I know you ladies can help:

B"h I delivered a healthy baby boy on Shabbos. Aside from the logistics of a bris on the Shabbos before Shavuos (we live out-of-town), we have a name problem. Somehow, we were convinced that we were expecting a girl and had no difficulty with "her" name. We planned to name "her" for a very special family member whose birthday & yahrtzeit is during the Omer (when baby was due)..Baby arrived *on* the yahrtzeit and it is very important to us hat we name for her.

Family Name: Sheindel (we planned to name "Shayna")

Discuss! I want either same meaning (hard to find a boy name for 'beautiful') or the same/similar sound.

Mazel Tov!

I can't think of a name for a boy that means beautiful.

What about Meir = enlightening. Light is the medium through which we can see beauty.

Noam = pleasant.

Shmuel, Shimon, Shalom - begin with the same Shin.

OP here. Thanks for the suggestions. I love "Shalom", especially for a Shabbos baby. Too bad our first son is "Aaron Shalom"!

Was also thinking Shavous names as options but can't think of any that jump at me. Be a bit odd to have an Aaron and a Moshe, no? Also, Moshe is out for other family reasons. What names are associated - or could be - with Shavuos? Perhaps names like 'Natanel' referring to the gift of Torah and baby? What other names have 'gift' connotations?

Thanks in advance!

Matan or Doron for gift; Shraga is also related to Torah and Shabbos (it means candle/light), and it starts with a shin, so sounds like Sheindel.

Moshe's other name was Tuvya.
Shneur - shin and nun like sheindel/sheina
Dovid - connection with shvuos through megilas Ruth
Mazal tov and you should be zoiche to bring him up to Torah, mitzvos and maasim toivim.

Matanel

Shai means gift but it's not good if you live in an English speaking country

Shaanan

Shlomo

How about Yishai (father of David) ?

Or Matan or Matania (present or present from hashem) ? As in Matan Torah.

Or Netanel ? (same idea)

Zacharia ? (Hashem remembers/ed)

Sorry about the lack of Shins inthese though.
