What about naming after a Gadol? Like Yosef Shalom after Rav Elyashiv zatsal who was nifter recently and was a gadol hador. The name means “he will add peace” (Yosef means he will add, and Shalom means peace). Shalom is also one of Hashem’s Names. It is also one of the most important concepts in Judaism and the main thing we are all davening for and trying to acheive.
Now that I think of it, it is really a beautiful name with a beautiful meaning. You also get a lot of choices as to what to call him: He can be Yosef, Shalom, Yossi, Joey, Joe, and of course, Joseph. You can also try Yo! or Sephy but I’m not sure if he’ll appreciate that.
Anyhow, if you name after a Gadol Hador, it’s like giving your son a bracha that he will be like him, and since Rav Elyashiv zatsal was the biggest Talmid Chacham in recent years, that would be some bracha to give your kid!
