So my boyfriend and I are probably not going to have a kids for a few more years (we need to get married first!) but we have basically already named all our future children.

I want 4 children and my boy says (pretending we have a choice) we should have them, boy, girl, boy, boy. I think maybe boy, girl, boy, girl. But anyway here are our names, which we decided on about 2 years ago.
Oh and by the way we are jewish and I don't believe in giving the kids two sets of names (like Frank in english but Chaim in hebrew) so all the names are english versions of hebrew names.

Elijah Abraham / Eliyahu Avraham
Asher Everett / Asher Ivrit
Caleb Ethan(not 100% decided yet) /Calev Etan

for girls we cannot agree at all
We both are okay with Leah and Naomi
But I really like Adara (he says he knew too many girls by that name in high school)
And he really likes Mirah (I think it sounds like an old lady name)
So maybe:
Adara Miriam / same spelling in hebrew
Mirah Rachel / same spelling in hebrew except you say Rachel like "Rakhayl"

I love the name Adara. I am not Jewish, but I think it's a really pretty name. Adara Miriam is a nice combination. I also like Elijah Abraham.

thank you.
I think both 'Adara' and 'Elijah' are more contemporary and they are anchored by the more traditional middle names of 'Miriam' and 'Abraham'.
Also I didn't grow up Jewish and never heard the name Adara before I began to do research into Hebrew/Jewish names. I have never met anyone by that name so it seems beautiful and unique to me. Whereas, my boyfriend swears his highschool was filled with Adaras. Oh well I think if I promise that if we have two girls one can be Mirah, he might agree.
