groisamomma, I would definitly change it if I were you, it's a hassle, true, but you'll do it and be over with it and then she'll be fine for life!

Louche, Tamiri, that is so interesting. I never knew why we (I too sometimes) say Yontiff.


The Yontiff is another consonant switch I didn't mention: an M being pronounced as N before a t or a p sound. It's easier to say. Compare the effort required to say yoMTov vs. yoNTev. Which is why hispanics say the glass is half "eNTY" rather than half eMPTy.

I spell my name RIFKY - that is I had 3 rivki's in my class (rivkie, rivki, and rivky) so my name was unique and I loved it- I know of many RIFKY's and after 40+ years I still think it is a great name.
