I think that's a lively name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/calling-jewish-moms-hebrew-name-help#post-2293013 Wed, 16 Sep 2015 21:59:17 +0000 Rocker2014 2293013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Shimon? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/calling-jewish-moms-hebrew-name-help#post-2292939 Wed, 16 Sep 2015 20:40:14 +0000 Trailmix 2292939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@math.nerd: my son's middle name is Shai and his last name is Simon! So funny :)</p> <p>I obviously love the name Shai (shy) but my husband vetoed for a first name. My daughter is named Shoshana, which I thought meant rose in Hebrew but I don't really know this stuff well...<br /> A Hebrew boy name that begins with 'Sh' is tough, you could just do the letter 'S' which would open up more options! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/calling-jewish-moms-hebrew-name-help#post-2292894 Wed, 16 Sep 2015 20:06:52 +0000 Periwinkle 2292894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ooh, I love the name Shai! If you're set on the "sh" sound, what about Shilo/h?</p> <p>My Hebrew name is Shoshana (after my grandmother, Rose), so I love anything that goes with/sounds like that :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/calling-jewish-moms-hebrew-name-help#post-2292829 Wed, 16 Sep 2015 18:32:11 +0000 Mrs.Someone 2292829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kveller.com has a great hebrew name database: <a href="http://www.kveller.com/letter/s/" rel="nofollow">http://www.kveller.com/letter/s/</a> . I think a name starting with S would be a great option to honor your aunt. The first off the top of my head was "Shmuley" ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/calling-jewish-moms-hebrew-name-help#post-2292779 Wed, 16 Sep 2015 17:28:13 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 2292779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Shoshana is a type of rose. I think you could either go with something similar in terms of sound or meaning.

Love that name. I think that's a really nice option to go with Hershel.</p> <p>Don't know if you'd also want to consider something without an "sh" since Hershel already has it? Or maybe that makes it go more? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/calling-jewish-moms-hebrew-name-help#post-2292720 Wed, 16 Sep 2015 16:11:42 +0000 Miss Ariel 2292720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the name Shoshanah since that's my name... Both my Hebrew name as well as everyday! I do like Shai as well.

I think that would be lovely as a tribute to Shoshana Shimson! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/calling-jewish-moms-hebrew-name-help#post-2292715 Wed, 16 Sep 2015 15:59:42 +0000 babycanuck 2292715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for this! I am going to poke around on the sites to see what I can find. The doctor doing the bris said he could help if we need him to, and my aunt's full Hebrew name was Shoshana Shimson, but I have two cousins named Sampson/Shimson after my grandfather so I was hoping to stick to something else. </p> <p>I looked online for the Hebrew names for Henry (grandfather) and didn't like any of them, so decided to stick with Hershal since that was his Hebrew name. Good call on the SH names though, I will see what I can find :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/calling-jewish-moms-hebrew-name-help#post-2292708 Wed, 16 Sep 2015 15:52:54 +0000 pregnantbee 2292708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi and congrats! I poked around a little online and came across this thread:</p> <p><a href="http://www.imamother.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=43377" rel="nofollow">http://www.imamother.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=43377</a></p> <p>Shoshana is such a beautiful name! It means "lily" in Hebrew. Not sure if you're looking for a name beginning with the same Hebrew letter? Or a name with similar meaning? Like that other post points out, you probably wouldn't be naming a boy after a flower, but if you want to stick to nature, how about a Hebrew name for something in nature? Or something with the "sh" sound at the beginning?</p> <p>I also found this site for Hebrew names, and you can pick the gender and first letter, then click for meaning:</p> <p><a href="http://www.kveller.com/letter/s/gender/male/" rel="nofollow">http://www.kveller.com/letter/s/gender/male/</a></p> <p>Does this help at all? It was really hard for me to come up with first English boy names, then Hebrew boy names, too!</p> <p>ETA: Feel free to PM if you wanna chat more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/calling-jewish-moms-hebrew-name-help#post-2292697 Wed, 16 Sep 2015 15:42:46 +0000 babycanuck 2292697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been toiling with a Hebrew name for my little guy at his bris. His middle name will likely be Hershel since his English middle name is after my grandfather, but I'd like to give him a first name for someone else.</p> <p>My aunt's Hebrew name was Shoshana and google is failing me at finding some kind of male equivalent for it. Any ideas? </p>
