I love the name Dalia but in my circles we only do biblical or Yiddish names. A cool girl in my modern orthodox elementary has the name Dalia. I don’t like the Dina- din comnection or her story in the Torah. I’d pick dahlia if I were in less yeshivish circles

The poll might be skewed because of the demographics here. If mostly the crowd is chassidish, then Dalia is very rare and Dina is normal, so that would reflect in the poll same for yeshivish, which I don't know if Dalia is common there.

There are many others not like them who just have the baby circumcised at the hospital. That’s going way off topic. If you don’t want to give your baby a Jewish name, as the parent, it’s your choice.


When my DD was born 30+ years ago, my hospital roommate was planning on having a hospital circumcision.

I am proud that I persuaded her to have a kosher bris. My cousin was the mohel.

( Don't know if they gave a Jewish name)

I like Dina. Don’t like the name Dalia. Or Talya in the same way. Sounds a bit Russian to me.


Tanya is a Russian name I think, so guess Talya sounds Russian by association!

Is there any indication that most of the crowd is Chassidish?

Dalia is a beautiful name.
I would never name my daughter Dina or Tamar.

I don't think there are official numbers, but in polls where people say what sect they identify with chassidish is usually (always?) the largest group represented

I am between these two names, both feel like they are too traditional to the point of being old school, but I am thinking maybe they are old school in a cool way, like Chloe or Phoebe in a non-Jewish world…
What do you think? Should work both in Israel and chutz, modern chareidi circles.


Dina is way more Yeshivish than Dahlia. Dahlia is more out of the box
