oops...I always forget Americans do both an American name and a Hebrew name. I wonder where that practice came from?! Being Israeli we just look for Hebrew names we like that are easily pronounced in English (and other languages if possible). You know...a name that can multitask For better or worse--You have a lot more picking to do than we do.

Ironically when we picked Jordan as a name for our son we thought it was completely international. Turns out after the fact that while its great in English and Hebrew it is NOT a name in Spanish (we were hoping since J is from Guatemala) and not in Arabic (an Arab friend in Israel had a good laugh--Urdun is a river, NOT a first name).
