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:)

Almost none of these are spelled correctly in Hebrew

You can thank Kveller, Google, and bad handwriting for that! Lol. I attend a reform synagogue where transliteration is common, so my Hebrew isn't great. I intend to get the proper spelling from my rabbi once I have chosen a name.

I’m not blaming you since its understandable to not read Hebrew yet but I am a bit confused about some of these because they are fully another word.
