Tehila!
That means joyous praise. The word "Hallel" derives from tehila, and we recite hallel on only the most joyous occassions, like Yom Tov. So Esther and I thought it appropriate to express our gratitude to Hashem and to bless Tehila with a life full of selfless joy and giving.
Thank you to all of you who helped in the naming process. It was actually I who came up with the name Tehila, but I must give credit to all those who helped make my choice difficult.
In a close second place behind Tehila, we had Richarda (it was tough, Richard), Sheniqua (Rabbi G), Maimonidesia (Feldy), Achdut (Andrew) and Goldenpalace.com (Jason).
Honorable mention to Chaika, Shaina, Chaya, Shalshelet, Jacquelin, Leah (pronounced LAY-uh), Naomi, Shira, Rivka, Sarah, and last and least, Christina (bc she was born on the 4th of Tevet).
