Zahava..

Yep. Been talking about this one for years since we knew we’d have to give this name eventually. Somehow it seems less hurtful to call ur kid gogo then Zahava. Ya know? Like she’s golda but we’re being cutesy, were not flat out saying ew

I guess each family is different. Wouldn’t be considered hurtful in my family at all. My parents named a few children the Hebrew versions of Yiddish names they didn’t like.

My parents gave my my middle name in honor of a beloved aunt who never had children of her own. Her name was Golda and she was known as Aunt Guggie, but my parents thankfully gave me the name Zehava.

I love the name Goldie! It's cute. I think I even like it better than zahava

Once you name your daughter, you'll grow to love it, I think.

Same... with a different name. My parents named me after my very special great grandmother, whom I feel honored to have been named for, and they also gave me a beautiful Hebrew name with the same meaning.
