Typing in ‘baby names’ on Google, serves up plenty of surprises. You’ll be inundated with suggestions from every corner of the world - some that you can’t even spell, let alone pronounce! After surfing through the sublime to the extremely ridiculous, TotallyJewish Simchas has compiled its 2006 Jewish Top Ten with their Hebrew meaning.

Joshua (Gods salvation)
Joseph (He shall add)
Samuel (of God)
Benjamin (son of my right hand)
Daniel (God is my judge)
David (beloved)
Aaron (most high)
Jonathan (gift of the Lord)
Nathan (gift of God)
Adam (formed of the red earth)

looks for only sweetness in life)
Rachel (innocent as a lamb)
Sarah (a princess)
Eve (life giver)
Hannah (graceful)
