Baby Names I Love but Won't Be Using

This is a list of baby names that I like/love but won't be using for one reason or an other.

Yael is an Old Testament name often heard in Israel that could work well here: just remember that it's pronounced with two syllables...it is also spelled Ya'el. In the Bible she was a Kenite woman in the time of Deborah who killed the enemy general, Sisera.


Yael

Margalo could make an intriguing spin on Margaret, with Margo as a nickname.  The name appears in E. B. White's <em>Stuart Little</em> — as a bird. Margalo Gilmore (born Margaret) was a well-known British-born Broadway actress.
