I know someone in her sixties named Badonna.
Bat Tzion is a definitely an accepted name among sfardim.

My first name is Tzizza. I actually know a few, but they are all first cousins. None of us go by this name. We all have a second name.

Being that I have never heard of anyone with the same name as this person except the relative I named for (no one else named for them yet), it would actually out me. And the child isn't in school yet so teachers or friends.


So why post at all?
I dont care either way I just wonder why someone would post something that davka doesnt add to the thread.
I guess some people feel a need to be part of the conversation.

The Badonna I know is in her seventies. Probably related.

Bas tzion (Chassidish) took me by surprise. I would expect sefardim to have that name...

I know a family who has the name machla. Spelled with an alef at the end. Several cousins all have that with another name and they’re called by the second name.

My daughter's name is Priva. It was my grandmother's name.
Now I'm totally outing myself, but my husband's name is Elyakim.
We are cool with unusual names!

My second grade teacher was named priva. I haven’t heard the name since then.
My cousin has a son elyakim. That one I’ve heard a few times.

Yes. I know someone with that name. No ideas as to what the meaning is . She has it paired with a common name and only goes by the common one.[/quote

Hey I know her too! Unless there’s more than one. I don’t get it… why name your child a name that is clearly of the opposite gender?

You probably know another one, the one I know is a baby Wink
The boys name is with an Alef
I believe she is named after a grandmother (Sephardic)
I hope they call her Chani!

18 pages of names and my middle name is not here. I never met anyone with my middle Hebrew (probably Yiddish) name except cousins. My father insisted that I have a very common biblical first name.

You could've just posted the name instead of posting this whole flexing story....
