I have heard most if not all of the unusual names here. Some didn’t sound unusual to me. I know Perachya and Pesachya, Paltiels, Chamutals, Lifsha’s and Krassi’s. I even know a Dusi, pretty sure her name is Dusa. But Cheftzivah? No offense if there’s a Cheftzivah here. I’ve heard Cheftzibah a few times, often called Cheftzi, but with veis it sounds like a mispronunciation.


Ha I know. It's a girl who was in my daughter's bunk in camp. I asked her a hundred times are you sure its Cheftziva???? Not cheftzibah???? But no...like it almost sounds like Chava Tziva but it's Cheftziva... 🤷‍♀️ her sister has a unique name too now that I'm remembering, but I don't remember what 😆 I have to ask my daughter in the morning iyh.

The Dusa I know is just called Dusa.

Also I wrote Milka and Rana as 2 different names but I should have put then together because the person I know is Milka Rana 😅 I also know a plain Rana.

Not unheard of but Osnat.

Sisters friend is Tema. We called her Temmy.
Also have a aquaintance Nitzana.

Choni has a vav and ends in a yud. Come to think of it, other than the story of Choni hameagel I never heard anyone with that name. The person I know is chet nun aleph. He goes by his other name and avoids telling people this one.
