If you weren’t constrained by:
Wanting or needing to use family names
Not being able to use certain names because a relative has the name
dh opinion Smile
Or community norms

In other words if you could truly just chose what names you like best (I know some of us do that but not everyone ) what would they be?

Yishmael.

Never, in this generation. But it's there in my head.

For me, I have a lot, but off the top of my head

Boys: simcha, menachem, shalom (wouldn’t use those all together too cheesy for even me!), nechemya, azaryah, meir. I love Avraham Yeshaya together and while my husband wouldn’t oppose it I don’t see how we’d ever use it unless we have a few sets of boy quintuplets!

Girls: Tziporah, Yocheved, haddasah , rina

Same.
And Abba.

For a girl, Bat Tzion. DH won't agree to it because almost all mentions in Tanach are negative.
Techiya, which DH won't go for because it is too modern.

Sinai.

I met a lady in the park whose son was called Sinai and I loved it.

(The Hebrew way - see-nai (with the emphasis on the 2nd syllable))

I also love the name Binyamin, but we can't use it.

If Ahuva were used among the younger generations, I would name my daughter that. I love the sound and the meaning, but wouldn't give a name that is almost exclusively used by those born before 1970.

I like Ahuvi, but I think that might be too unheard of for my taste (slightly considering it still).

Ahava is a more modern and hip version of this name.

That's interesting, I always thought of ahuva as a younger, more modern name.

I love Bat-Ohr but wouldn't do it because most of my family only speaks English. I can imagine them saying "we don't remember what she called this one, but it's something like 'battery'." 😂

Ahuva is also on the list!
I don’t only give names for the sole purpose of making family happy, but it happens to be a family name, so it works out nicely.
