Regarding Advice on Choosing a Name for a Daughter
Question
Hello to the honored rabbi,
Thank God, a daughter was born to us, with good fortune.
We are torn between the names: Meodi, Roni, Ya'alah.
We would appreciate the rabbi's advice as to which name is preferable.
Thank you.
Answer
Shalom to you,
The name Ya'alah is preferable to the other names.
With blessings of good fortune and much satisfaction,
Hillel Meirs
Follow-up question: In the answer it was said that the name Ya'aleh is preferable among the names. Is the name itself (Ya'aleh) good, or is that only the default because it is preferable among the other names we were considering (Meodi, Roni, Ya'aleh), and perhaps we should look for a different name altogether?
Answer: The intention was that this name is preferable to the other names you mentioned. Indeed, the name is fine, but there are names better than it, and it is preferable to look for another name.
