I feel like there are so so many beautiful boys names but I am at a loss of girls names that I absolutely love! boys names that I love are gavriel, daniel, yair, eliyahu, meir, yeshaya, naftali, levi, yishai, elisha, ami, avi, refael

For my first two boys I gave them names that I really loved. Now, I feel like there's nothing that speaks to me. I'd hate to name my child something I didn't love, but I'm guessing at some stage that has to happen because no one has a long list of favorite names... maybe it's my pregnancy hormones but I'm feeling really down about it, like I just want someone to tell me a beautiful name, instead of me going over lots of names and feeling like they're just mediocre.

Two things:

1) I felt the same way during pregnancy. HATED a certain name. I had my baby, and suddenly, one of the names I nixed suddenly seemed like the most perfect, beautiful name.

2) Sometimes it's not a random name that you fall in love with in an abstract sense, but a person. Is there a biblical figure you always loved? A modern figure? Like an Israeli soldier/hero? A Rabbi that changed the world? A person who accomplished something you always wish you could have?

Now that I can't have any more kids, it fills me with sadness that all these names that I suddenly adore I can no longer use.

Can you share the girls names you love? Always looking for inspiration.
