I have a Yakira and till today people stop me to say how beautiful her name is Smile

we call her Kira sometimes out of laziness but prefer Yakira a million times better

I love the name Lielle. Anaelle is beautiful, too.
With both those names, I love the sound and the meaning.

Don't like Yakira. Sounds harsh to me.
Also - I am in Israel. Yakira doesn't really work, here.
It is one of those names that sounds like Hebrew only to people who don't speak modern, Israeli Hebrew.

I don't mean to be crude but I'm not sure that Anael/Anaelle is a wise choice.

What do you mean?

Hi! Deciding between 3 names for our baby girl
And would love some opinions!
Lielle-maybe call her Lia/Lilly
Yakira-call her Kira
Anaelle- but pretty long name

Not Anaelle. In Hebrew it looks like...uh...well....
אנאל
Look at it. Don't do it.

I like Lielle and Yakira. Lia is beautiful and would be my pick. Second place is Yakira.

Haven’t read all the posts but here’s my 2¢.
I work in a BY and there are a bunch of Lielles. I haven’t heard the name Yakira recently in any community.

I know at least a dozen Yakiras

I thought its ענהאל in hebrew. As in G-d answered

Some spell it
אנאל
and some spell it
ענהאל
I've never seen it with the hey in the middle.

But honestly the second one just looks weird. And it's not too far off from ענאל, and likely to be mixed with אנאל because they are pronounced the same.
(One is אנא א-ל and the other is ענה א-ל....)

I personally love the name Anaelle, it is unheard of in my community - so I would probably name Elianna as it has the meaning. Still waiting for a baby girl though...

Yes, but while the male version is a name in Israel - Yakir -
the female, in Hebrew is actually pronounced more like Y'kira, and is not a name among Israelis.

Do girls with the name Yakira get teased and called "yucky" for short?

Do boys with the name Yakov get teased and called "yucky" for short?

Tbh I don't like any of them, they're all too different for me. But if I had to chose one, I'd pick Lielle.

Not any of the ones I know. Most are called Kira for short.
