I like Shalhevet for a girl. If I wasn't naming after someone, I would stay away from Yiddish names.

Basya, Tzipporah, Rinat, Ronit, Shulamis, ...

My husband and I have had the name Basya Rus picked out for a girl with each of my pregnancies. Four boys later, we're still waiting to use it...

Nothing. If I were naming after somebody.
If I could choose from any name in the whole world, there are enough names in Lashon Hakodesh, that I wouldn't need German/Polish/Russian influences.

Torah Sheb'ksav was given in Lashon haKodesh
Torah She'b'al Peh was given in Aramaic
Toras HaChassidus was given in ...Yiddish

The deepest, most Divine part of the Torah was given in Yiddish! The Baal Shem Tov and the Maggid of Mezritsch said all of their Torah in Yiddish. All the Rebbeim of Chabad said all of their Torah in Yiddish. Likewise the other Talmidim of the Baal Shem tov and Magggid and all their successors. Yiddish is a holy tongue, elevated by Jews throughout centuries of limud torah and mesirus nefesh.

Those Jews who speak this tongue as their first language are keeping up the tradition of "lo shinu es shemom, l'shoinom , levusham" they did not change their language ( or names, or attire" for which the Jews merited to leave Mitzrayim, and for which again in our days we will merit the final Geulah.

There is nothing German, Polish or Russian about that at all.

But, often, someone's disdain for the Yiddish language or Yiddish names. reveals that there is a Zionist, or secular influence there, which is more than equivalent to a german , polish or russian influence.
