Can you suggest some Sephardic Jewish names for boys and girls? I'm finding a lot of sites that have last names listed, but not many first names. 

They're for characters (both children and adults, mostly children who are all taken into hiding) in a story set in WWII Croatia. 

 

My characters include:

Boy/girl twins about 4-5 years old whose parents were arrested by the Nazis.  The boy has brown hair and the girl has sandy blond hair and a few small freckles on her nose, and both have brown eyes.  He's a little shy, but she's usually talkative.

 

A 50-something doctor with gray hair and blue eyes (Wears glasses) whose practice was taken away.  He is a widower with two children who were sent to live with relatives in another country.  He's kindhearted, but sometimes has a bit of a temper.

 

I could use names for other characters too.

Thank you! :)

These are some names I found online when I typed in Sephardic Jewish Names

 

Boy names:

Aragon, Aben, Abraham, Aaron, Alazar, Azulay, Cohen, Levy, Isach, Jacob, Medina, Solomon, Shaprut, Sasson

 

 

Girl names:

Ashkenazi, Cavalleria, Esther, Mizrahi, Reyna, Sadia. (Sorry that the girls list is so short, I couldn’t find as many girl names as I could boy names)

 

 

Please leave a few names on my forum if you can, thanks. Link to my forum:

Thanks!  Appreciate the help.  :)  I think Abraham and Esther sound great for the twins and Solomon sounds like a perfect name for a doctor.
