yunger mann: One of the people I work with, whose daughter is named Shira, just told me that he had consulted Rav Chaim Stein prior to naming her. Rav Chaim gave his haskoma and brocha to it. He claims that RCS even spoke at the kiddush and was complementary of choosing this particular name.
We have to be very careful with this. R. Chaim Kanievsky is quite insistent that halocha l’maaseh shall not be paskened from his written teshuvos. Here we’re going after people who’ve been named already, so we should be careful and considerate about it. Ask your Rov.
Also, whats the famous story about rav Dessler and his Kiddush Becher? Probably very applicable here.
