What do you think of this half-Jewish half-Arabic person's name?

Question

Tziporah Israel Aida Al-Ameriki

(Al-Ameriki is the last name)
Nicknamed Tiz for Tziporah and sometimes Zippy (for siblings only) and Tia occasionally for initials?

Wow I wasn't expecting such positive reactions! :)

Israel was put in there because even though it is obviously a male name, it is the name of the Holy Land for both religions. As well, it is simply a beautiful name. At least in my opinion. :) And yes, this is a female, most obviously. :D

@pamusicgirl: Tziporah is not French in this sense, it is the name of the wife of Moses. Israel, the Holy Land. Aida is of Arabic origin meaning 'visitor, returning.' As for the last name there is no choosing in that. By the way, Tziporah's nickname is Tiz. Zippy is only for her two sisters and Tia is occasional. But really it has never caused her any trouble.

Ok never caused ME any trouble. Tziporah is MY name. Just wanted to see what people thought, that's all.

Answer 1

I've always found Tziporah quite intriguing, so of course I love that! ;) Aida is also lovely. I've not heard Israel used as a feminine name, to be honest, and though it's "a lot of name" (LOL) in full, I still think it manages to come across as a beautiful, interesting and well-thought-out choice. It definitely works. ;)

Answer 2

Could be hard to pronouce but I think it's okay. I like the Israel Aida, but not so much Tziporah. Israel is a different name, but there is a MLB baseball player with that as a middle name also, so it's okay. Is it a girl's name or a boy's name though? With Tziporah and Aida I'm thinking it's a girl, but with Israel I think it's a boy.

Answer 3

Tiz is actually pretty cool - I can't believe they used Israel for the middle name though! lol it sounds awesome though - and I absolutely love the name Aida. Tia is cute too (and Zippy is just adorable! lol).

Answer 4

I understand people wanting an interesting and unique name for their baby, but as someone who has an unusual French name for a first name and an extremely rare Greek-Cypriot name for a last name, I always encourage people to give their kids at least one part of the name that is actually pronouncable and spellable. The above name is actually pretty cool, but I know from experience that Zippy is gong to spend her life spelling her name out for people, and that it'll continue to be a huge pain.

Answer 5

I personally like it, though it's really long and the poor kid is going to have trouble with people not able to pronounce. The first name was in the Bible, but spelled Zipporah. I think she was Moses' first wife. It comes from the Hebrew meaning "female bird."

Answer 6

Oy- Vey, & Praise be to Allah !!! Sounds like a winner to me! :)

Answer 7

VERY UNIQUE
