The Names Tahel and Hallel for Girls
Question
Dear Rabbi, I hope you are well.
My wife is about to give birth, and we are pondering a suitable name. My wife really loves and wants the name Tahel, but when we asked my rabbi, he said that the name has no meaning, and therefore, unfortunately, he does not recommend it.
My wife was very disappointed by this.
Additionally, the option of the name Hallel has come up.
What is the rabbi's opinion regarding the names Tahel and Hillel?
And generally, what does the rabbi recommend for girls' names?
Thank you in advance.
Answer
Dear Sir,
The names Tahel and Hallel are not recommended for a girl, so it is advisable to seek another good and recommended name.
Please see a partial list of recommended names for girls here.
We would be happy to assist further as needed.
Mazel tov,
Hillel Meirs
