[Opinions] Liraz
It's a new Hebrew name I've discovered recently. I like its meaning. I've seen it on a male character, but apparently it's unisex (and, according to a brief facebook search, more common for girls). WDYT? What bugs me is that it's so close to "shiraz", as in the wine. Does it work best on a boy or a girl?

I'm intrigued by Liraz - I love it; it seems mysterious, befitting its meaning. I see it as more of a female name.
I also like Lior, Liora, and Limor. I believe Limor has a mirror image - Morli.
I check out some of the supposedly unisex names on Facebook too.
I'm unsure, however, as to whether using Israeli (as opposed to biblical and more traditional Hebrew names) is really justified for babies who are not living in Israel.

Prefer on a girl.I adore the name. I've been into Hebrew names for years, and this was one of my original favorites along with the similar Liat, Lior, Lital, Liron, and Limor.Combos:Liraz Adiel

I don't really like Hebrew names. This is one of the uglier ones.

I don't like the way it sounds. It sounds harsh and unappealing.
