Looking for names...thinking about naming after a rabbi or rebbetzin but not so familiar with specifics. I'd love if you could make suggestions, including who it would be named after so that I could do more research on the person.

Thanks Smile

Yisrael Meir- Chofetz Chaim
Avraham Yeshaya - Chazon Ish
Yaacov Yisrael - Steipler
Nosson Tzvi - R' Nosson Tzvi Finkel
Eliezer Simcha - R Simcha Wasserman
Avraham Yaacov - Rav Pam
Yosef Shalom - R' Elyashiv

All Litvish - but if you want to go for chassidish check up the names of the Rebbes - B'shaa Tova

Zehava Braunstein's name was not actually Zahava. It was a yiddish name; possibly Zlata Golda or something similar. She began being called Zehava in school.
