The Name Shiah for a Daughter

AA

Question

Hello, with Hashem’s help and we shall succeed, a daughter was born to us, and I wanted to call her Shiah, meaning shi - Yah, a gift from Hashem. Is that acceptable, and may the child be called that? I would appreciate a response.

Answer

Shalom rav,

It is not at all recommended to call a daughter by this name.

We will be glad to help you further, Bli neder.

With a blessing of mazel tov and much nachas,

Hillel Meirs
