    These are all Israeli names - I am choosing the ones I like best and like the meanings. :)

    Interesting names. One of our students is called Jimena, and I've often wondered as to the origins of the name. Nice info;)

    I am actually going through a list of names to find ones I like, discarding all that have a religious connotation or a not very pleasant meaning, and finding it absolutely fascinating.

    Incidentally, most, if not all, end in "a" which shows that it is a girl's name.

    I always struggle with girl's names for some reason:confused: It was only thanks to re-watching Reservoir Dogs that I even came up with Mrs White;)

    I think we're due an Israeli name as we have Europe and India over-represented up 'til now:)

    As I am only up to "M" I am sure I will find a few more for you! It is rather nice as all names have a meaning.

    @Azz - the accent is usually on the second syllable but on Matana every "a" is short with just a very slighly accented final "a".

    And I have the male version of Chica - Chico! It seemed a good name for a Chihuahua - it means (I think) small boy, but can also be used as a term of affection amongst older boys, meaning something like 'buddy.'

    I think it's Fabiola as that's what folks have started calling her:)

    Haha! I often think that, too, when I see all these stunning shots of Italy or Finland or whichever beautiful place a lot of these lads and lasses end up settling!

    It must be so rewarding for you - and I do not mean financially rewarding but - cannot think of the word - satisfactorily rewarding. :)

    Yeah, it has only taken me 42 years to find my purpose in life, but now with this rescue and rehoming project, I think I'm there;)

    These dogs help me to appreciate my own life more than I help them, without a doubt. My frustrations, anxieties etc just seem silly nowadays when I see these happy chaps who ask for very little in life. I've learned a lot from them:)
