Ahhh- but you have a great personality to go with it.

Esther comes from tanach from Esther hamalka. It may also be similar to a pagen name, but that doesn’t mean that’s where it comes from.

Céline is correct, but it is very difficult to type with the US keyboard layout.

Ceylon is an actual given name, but it is a place name, completely unrelated.

College teachers at the frum women's college I went to, someone at shul, one neighbor we are close with has family come in from out of town and always asks us to join them for a YT meal when they come and I can always count on one of her family members to educate me that my name is not acceptable.
OP, use the name you love. |
Wow. That is so rude. I also mostly go by a non Jewish name. I would be really annoyed if people told me my name is not ok.

In some communities, it's the norm to go by the Hebrew name. In others, using a shem chol is considered preferable, and that is also a tradition that goes way back.

And I thought Watergirl was such a cool name. Love the meaning, and it has depth like an ocean. I was considering naming my next DD this. Sea Lion on the other hand...
