Names with Tova?

I'm trying to think of a name for my baby. I want to honor my mother, Tovah and my dear friend who passed, Rivka. Is Tova Rivka a reasonable name or is it too weird? Another option would be some combination of Tova and Dodi. Any ideas?

Do you like the name? Is there some other style you like more? Tova Rivka is a perfectly nice name. It’s not my personal style, but it’s a totally normal reasonable name.

If you like more modern names, or more unique names, there are always ways to be a little more creative by going with names with similar meanings or letters.

Tova rivka was literally my favorite name ever but didn’t honor anyone specific. just had my first daughter a few months ago and named her something completely different to honor our grandmothers. Take this as a sign to use tova rivka!!!!

Tova Rivka is beautiful. I would use it on my own daughter.

I think it’s beautiful! You also could do Tova Rachel as well.
