Choosing a Name

There is no doubt that one of the most important decisions that a Jewish parent has to make is naming their new baby. This is for several reasons. The most obvious reason is that he will be called by this name for the rest of his life! Additionally, Chazal teach us that the name of a child will have an effect on their character traits.

While for those who have a relative to name after this is a simple decision, it is a more difficult choice for those who don't. Therefore, I have compiled a list of 100+ popular Jewish boy's names to make it easier for parents to choose a name:
