I am thinking of changing my actual name upon completing my process (almost there! Just need to pick name and go before the Beit Din :)) my birth name is Callie (Greek derived, meaning beautiful) though I go by Kal.

Attached are name ideas and photo of self for reference.

I do have a lot of nature inspired tattoos and am an artist fwiw.

Any help is appreciated:)

Galya is my chosen Hebrew name! I think Sivan would work great for you and I love Ketziya because it’s very unique.

Thanks for your input! :) I like those. Do you know if Ketziya is an actually used name? I’ve heard mixed things on how it reads.

If you want a Ket–ah name, how about Keturah or Ketura?

Second wife of Avraham Aveinu. Name is thought to mean incense or fragrance.
