Question

Me and my wife love the name Yaar and would like to name our son, who was just born on Rosh Hashanah (from the Priestly Blessing and the psalm in the shape of the menorah). It should be noted that he is the third child in the family. Is there a problem with this name? Thank you in advance and wishing you a good year!

Answer

Greetings, it is not advisable to name your son Yaar. However, the name Yair is good and highly recommended - see https://www.hidabroot.org/question/250768. 

Wishing you congratulations, Hillel Meirs
