There's a city in Wisconsin called Menasha. THat's the first thing I thought of when I saw Menashe. What do they mean?

Menashe means "causing to forget" and is the Yiddish form of Manasseh, who was the eldest of Joseph's sons. Not the best meaning, I know...

Freyde is also Yiddish and means "joy." Way, way better meaning-wise, but I have no idea what nicknames I could use for this.
