Oomis 1105:- Kol haKovod to you; jiddish names are totally archaic & out of vogue. Could just as easily give an English name.
When we named our daughter, we transliterated a grandmother’s Jiddish name to Hebrew, and we have never looked back nor regretted our wise decision.
To stick a Jiddish name as some 2nd name and never call her by it except og her Kesuvoh, go for 1 Hebrew name which will be happily utilized by all.
