Ruchie, I just opened this and saw my name in the list! Aww You're more than welcome to it (Bamidbar, 1:11)
For those interested, my name means "My father judged" or "My father judges" depending on what form of the Hebrew verb "dan" you're choosing.
I don't know what I'd name my children. Most likely, I'd name them in the usual Jewish tradition of naming children after deceased relatives, usually the new child's great-grandparents. So in that vein, my son would be named Leib (bli ayin hora, my mother's father is still alive and well)and my daughter would be named Baila, Rachel, or Leah, or some combination thereof.
As an interesting point, my full name is Avidan Moshe. Moshe comes from one of my great-grandfathers. Avidan sort of does; I'm technicallly named after an Avraham. But my parents didn't really like the name Avraham, so they named me Avidan instead.
Avidan
