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")

she's so lovely! and what a wonderful name!

[estherchaya]

thanks! I do think she's lovely, but of course I'm biased. ;)

Lovely, lovely name. I love Leiba, and I'm a bit biased about Tova because it's my name (though my parents put an H at the end of it)

[estherchaya]

we were *this* close to reversing the name as Lieba Tova and calling her Libby. Actually, I'm still sort of missing "Libby" but I do love Tobie (or even Tovie, and obviously I love Tova all by itself - with or without an h!). :)

As a teenager I went by "Tov". One or two people called me Tovie. I like Toba and Toby, too.

Cool name. I like how the first and middle name go together for the nickname. Congrats on naming the wee one!
