We Have Achieved a Name!

Introducing...

Tova Lieba!

We'll call her Tobie.  Tova = Good in Hebrew, and Lieba = "loved one" in Yiddish (also, "heart" from the Hebrew lev - as in "good heart" or "kind heart")

I love that name and the nickname.

Mazel tov.

Thank you! We're pretty fond of her, and therefore, also of her name. :)

Lovely name!

[estherchaya]

thanks! We think so, and fortunately all of our friends are kind enough not to tell us otherwise, even if they don't agree. ;)

I love it! Some good friends of mine have a 19 month old Tova Lieba. They call her Tovie.

I like Tovie also, but I knew that would be harder for my (non-Jewish) father.
