Simcha is a nice name. I think it works equally well on both sexes, I don't have a preference of seeing it on one sex more than the other. The 'ch' *might* be a problem for non-Hebrew speakers. Not for German speakers since the 'ch' in German is basically pronounced the same as it is in Hebrew. But to be honest, 'SIM-kah' isn't too pleasing on my ears. The guttural sound gives the name extra oomph.

Tamar is a name that is growing on me, as well. I hate Tamara, and though I never used to like Tamar, I find it more appealing each time I see it.
