Is the name "Yuli" recommended for a girl?
Question
Shalom, honored rabbi.
My husband and I very much love the name Yuli. Heaven forbid, we are not at all thinking of the secular month of July, but rather of the sound of the name, the letters of the name within it, and the fact that we both really loved it. We are both very believing people, and it was important for us to receive approval for the name.
Thank you.
Answer
Shalom,
Although you have no intention of naming her after the secular month, in the end this is a gentile name, and it is very much not recommended.
Therefore, it would be best to find another name that you love and feel connected to, one that will have a good and positive influence on your daughter.
We would be happy to help further, without a vow.
With blessings,
Hillel Meirs
