RE: agenda+ Add commentary to 9.3 Working with personal names

I understand that the list of names below is a work in progress, but it is never soon enough to make it better.

 

Two comments about the male name for Israel, “Naom”:

1.      There is no such name that I know, it is probably a misspelling for “Noam”.

2.      Anyway this is not a good example for a male name, since it is used both for boys and girls (I have a grand-daughter with this name). I suggest to use a male –only name such as David or Moshe (= Moses).

בברכה,  מתתיהו

Shalom (Regards),  Mati

Are we ok to merge this?

I was actioned to provide a list of names people could use.  I started, but found it was taking me a lot of time, especially when i needed to understand the name usage in various countries.  For what it's worth, here's the list i have so far, but i decided instead to add a paragraph that encourages use of names from around the world, and a balance between male and female names.
