Question
Is it permissible to name a daughter 'Ayelet', like in 'Ayelet HaShachar', or must one choose names from the Torah? What does the rabbi say about the name 'Shira'? These are God-fearing people who want to choose a good name.
Answer
Hello
There is no prohibition against using any name, except for the names of wicked individuals.
However, some are very particular not to use a name that is not mentioned as a 'name' in the Tanach.
According to this, one should not name 'Ayelet', as it is not mentioned in the Torah as a 'person's name', but rather as a concept.
