I have a Yair, not born in Adar, but it is an appropriate Adar name.

Hebrew form of JAIR
JAIR

Means "he shines" in Hebrew. In the Old Testament this is the name of both a son of Manasseh and one of the judges of the Israelites.

Yeah, I find that trend quite confusing. When hearing an Israeli name, I often don't know whether the person is a man or a woman. |
true.
Some of my MO Israeli (girl) cousins bear names I associate with boys (think Nir, Yair) |
Funny my two sil's gave birth one to a boy and another to a girl. The girl was named noa. and the boy zissel. And to me Noa is a boys name and Zissel is a girls name. My aunts name is Zissel and my uncle named his son Noa.
Yep everytime I see them I always think of them as the different gender.

My cousin has a boy named Ma'ayan and a girl named Ariel.
I associate both names with the opposite gender.

I was just telling my husband last night about twins in a school I taught in. Their names were Or and Lior,and before I met them I didnt know which was the girl or boy. He said "I hear that, but Lior is always the boy." I said "Yea, but here it was the girl!"

Ariel= one of the names of Yerushalayim= city=female
Noa-one of the Bnos Tzelafchad= definite girls name. (and a real improvement over Chagla and Machla)

It actually sounds more female to me, like the Little Mermaid.

These days a lot of people like to give crossover names-- Ones that can work for both English and Hebrew.

True. But some say a boy Ariel will be teased in America, because of the mermaid, while a girl Ariel would be weird in Hebrew as technically it should be ariela?
