Is Ahuva the same as Ahava? Or a different meaning?

I think Ahuva is beloved and ahava is to love. If I’m not mistaken

Most that I could think of were already mentioned. (By the way, a nickname for Yakira is Kira, if you wanted a cute nickname for that.)

But if you wanted to branch out a bit, the name "Liat" implies beloved, even though it's not from the same shoresh. היאלי, pronounced Hee-lee has a similar meaning, and comes from a beautiful meaning in a pasuk:
מָה-אָהַבְתִּי תוֹרָתֶךָ: כָּל-הַיּוֹם, הִיא שִׂיחָתִי. מֵאֹיְבַי, תְּחַכְּמֵנִי מִצְו‍ֹתֶךָ: כִּי לְעוֹלָם הִיא-לִי

Liba is yidish for ahuva meaning beloved
yekara
yakira

Yekarat Libi means "precious one of my heart" which I think it beautiful

Liat means you're mine, not quite the same. heelee would mean she is mine and it's referring to the Torah not to a person.

Libi is short for liba but it's ALSO my heart in Hebrew. lev - heart - . Libi - my heart.

I got used to people liking to use names that aren’t real Hebrew names here on imamother. A lot of names are really French, English, Russian or come from other languages and we give them a little twist and pretend they’re Hebrew. I think where I’d draw the line is at giving my baby an Arabic name, but of course you do you op and choose whatever name you like.
