Interesting, I know so many little girls (or people my age- ~23) who are named Ahuva! I don't consider it an 'older' name at all

Same I have a teenage cousin Ahuva. Bunch of classmates too. It's a current name for kids here, though not as common as Sara Rivka Rochel and Leah.

Tarfon. Apparently the Greek meaning is delicate/refined/soft which I think it such a great value to call upon with a boy's name. I think all the Greek-derived Jewish names, like Hurkanus, Kalonymus, etc. are due for a comeback, but since my husband and I both have Ashkenazic roots and name for family that is not going to happen.

Never, in this generation. But it's there in my head. |
Isn't there a Rabbi Yishmael in the Gemara?
I always wondered about how he ended up with that name. It must have been an ok name in those times. Because yishmael himself did teshuva.
I once spoke at a chasidish bungalow colony and I said "one of the nicest things about being a BT with a fresh slate is that I dont have anyone I HAVE to name my child after and I can name whatever I want"
My goodness they laughed so hard. One of them was still laughing when I was done. I didn't realize how much that resonated with them until I got on this site and saw how much of an "issue" baby naming is.

Several of these names you can get away with in charedi communities, anything tanachi really - even though some are unusual.
Malachi
Noa
Itamar
Uriel
Naamah
for sure are ok.
Some of the others might make people raise and eyebrow - but also depends which charedi community. I've seen kids in my kids classes with names : Adi, Sapir, Maayan, Ariel, Maayan, Dvir.

I’ve always loved the name Boaz. Would never fly in yeshivish Lakewood.
My absolute favorite girls name is Yael. Love it. Hope to actually use this one one day.
My kids have the most typical names in the world. Yeh, they’re named after people but our last name is also a very generic name. Think like “Esty Cohen.” But they mark their individuality with their crazy personalities lol.

It's true. My DH also just wants our kids to have names that don't raise eyebrows.

So funny because in Hebrew it is the exact opposite. Tarfon is spelled with a tet, so its root is tareif, like chaya torefet (a predatory wild animal), meturaf (insane, crazy), etc. It's a very negative connotation, even without considering "neveilot v'treifot" as in kashrut.
