Reply To: Giving a Child the Name "Yenta"

1st timer, I heard the Adina substitution also. My aunt’s name was Yenta (called Yetta), and someone in the family has an ainekel who was named Adina for her, for just that reason. As Yenta is not Hebrew anyway, and I personally hold the minhag of only naming in Loshon Kodesh, that works for me. 🙂
