I was name...As a baby I was named Shimshona Chaya. I was named after my father's uncle Shumshan (Samuel) who I have only heard great things and apparently he was an amazing man. He was also the man in the family that was observant and always had the Jewish holidays. Chaya was for life since I was sick when I was born. <br /><br />As an adult when I converted I decided to keep the same Hebrew name that my dad chose for me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509727421760384845.post-46753140747651590042013-05-27T07:57:56.747-04:002013-05-27T07:57:56.747-04:00Esther's "real" name was Hadassah, b...Esther's "real" name was Hadassah, but they called her Esther... her middle name... ;)HSaboMilnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16373035411793236648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509727421760384845.post-41243584915385260472013-05-27T07:56:29.223-04:002013-05-27T07:56:29.223-04:00Thanks Hadassah! and thanks for sharing your stor...Thanks Hadassah! and thanks for sharing your story!

My mom wanted something more modern that Henya, but my Dad wanted to stick with it. They finally agreed on Hadassah. My Dad went to shul to name me. He named me Hadassah Henya. The both got what they wanted.<br /><br />You have a beautiful name, and a wonderful soul.
