But I am still trying to get Noah and Grace in Hebrew!

Grace phonetically or the word translated?

But in Hebrew Grace's name, translated, is an anagram for Noah!

xposted with Hil: translated.

Using Chain for Grace and Noach for Noah? t edit: which is cool, though translating Grace in the feminine form would be Channah, which makes the anagram thing not work.

Late , but we were refinishing the hallway today - so I haven't been on the computer all day ( the horrors)

cleaning , breakfast with my sister and BIL , reading more newbery books. garden?

Is it tattoo day? NPR had a show, we saw a design left in a copy machine , and now people are talking about it here.

Yep! A friend suggested it (but yeah, the feminine would be more accurate I'd assume). Now if only I could find clear version of the correct letters to print!

Well, from [link] , Noach is nun chet, using the first version of nun, and Chain is chet nun, using the second version of nun. (A few Hebrew letters are written differently if they're the last letter of a word.)

(Although I do have some qualms about getting tattoos in alphabets you don't read...)

A few years ago, all the Jewish blogs were mocking Britney Spears when she got a Hebrew tattoo on the back of her neck. It took a few tries for anyone to figure out how it actually said what she said it was supposed to say, but then somebody figured out that it was not only misspelled but backwards -- the letters were left to right instead of right to left.

Snerk. While trying to find that Britney Spears tattoo, I found a post about how David Beckham found out that his mother was Jewish, and decided to commemorate this by getting "I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine" in Hebrew tattooed on his arm. He already had a huge cross tattooed on his chest.

Hmm. The pictures I'm finding of Britney's tattoo look right. It must have been someone else with the backwards one. Unless she got it fixed -- I found something mentioning that she got it lasered off.

And David Blaine got Primo Levi's Auschwitz number tattooed on his own arm. That's all kinds of wrong.
