my little sister lives in montreal. from my few visits it seems like quite a nice city.
i was lucky that my name translated from girl to boy while retaining it's meaning and origin pretty easily. i was invested in it being hebrew, and i also didn't really care that much (by which i mean, i spent months decided whether or not i cared, and ultimately came up with "no") about having any sort of sharp separation with the past so....ilan it was. is.
what names are you thinking of? (i'm assuming you don't want gavriel or gavi). i asked my parents for name help too, but they didn't really have suggestions, other than keeping it close and making sure i had a name that sounded like it could have come from them.
