So interesting. I’m not seeing that here in America yet. I assume you live in Israel or Europe?

I live in israel. suepr yeshivish. like no smart phone yeshivish:)
my friend who comes form a huge very mechubadik family jsut named her baby achinoam. another who is the daughter and grandaughter of a very famous rosh yeshiva named her daughter sarit.
I think that there is a big shift. almost like people are really looking to make a change.

Off the list of names that people say won’t go in yeshivish circles, Yishai, Elisha and Elimelech will work too.
There’s also Yeshaya, Yirmiyahu and Yechezkel that are called Shaya, Yirmi and Chezky. They’re not common but they’re very acceptable in yeshivish circles.

I was actually drawn to the long Y names. Deciding if it’s too much of a mouthful because I don’t love shortening names and using nicknames.

Right I’m hearing of it in Israel. I’m not a trend setter so I’m not going to start the trend here. But maybe it will become common here soon.

Chananel, Elchanan, Yishai, Yeshaya and Michoel are common enough to be acceptable in American yeshivish circles. Etan isn’t common and the one yeshivish family I know that used it pronounces it with a ssaff and a kamatz under the ssaff so it doesn’t sound great. Amitai hasn’t made it across the ocean yet.

Look at the names of the nesi'im from last week's parsha.
How about Gamliel?

If you’re calling playgroup “gan” then you don’t live in the type of “super super yeshivish community” that I assume OP is referring to.

I have an Akiva. Not Tanachi, its gemara.
Not unheard of, but uncommon.
