Middle Name vs. For Rivka vs. pronounced RIHV-ka
Alright. Not quite as overwhelmed just still not sure. We’ve cut some names from our list of middle names for Rivka, and we’re almost certain we’re spelling it Rivka instead of Rivkah. My husband is still not really ’sold’ on any of the middle names but he hasn’t vetoed any of these ones outright either. Rivka comes from רבק (rbq), meaning "to tie firmly" and it is the Hebrew form of the name Rebekah who is the wife of Yitzhak- or as you’d recognize the name Isaac, in case anyone needed to know where it’s from. We’ve chosen this name for many reasons, not the least of which because I am totally in love with it. Suggestions for middle names that would be perfect are welcome. Middle names we have in first comment along with how they are likely to be pronounced by people around us (families, friends, etc) and their meanings. ~Sarai~

I’ve never heard Leah pronounced Lay-Ah I don’t think you’ll get what you want from that name if that’s the pronunciation you want.
I like Rivka Lily

That’s because you’re pronouncing it as if it is an English name...which isn’t uncommon I suppose- HOWEVER- Leah, the hebrew name is pronounced exactly like that. Lay-ah. Thank you for the concern and insight though.
