Q: I'm still having trouble pronouncing it. Can I call her anything
else?
A: Calling her Allie is just fine.
Q: What language is her name?
A: Hebrew
Q: Why did you choose Ayelet?
A: Ayelet is part of the phrase "Ayelet Hashachar", which translates
to
"the very first rays of light in the day". Because she was born so
early
and is so beautiful, we thought that is what she is. Also, in Hebrew
it is
similar to "Eyal", which means strength, and we want her to be strong.
Q: How about Noa?
A: Noa was one of a group of sisters in the biblical book of Numbers
who
successfully petitioned Moses for daughters to have the right of
inheritance (if there were no sons), so she was one of the earliest
fighters for equal rights for woman. Noa is also related to the Hebrew
word
for movement.
