Israeli celebrity Maayan Adam is nearing the birth of her son and has revealed that she and her partner, Yuval Tzelner, have already chosen a name for him. The child will be a brother to Tamar and Kedem, and a half-brother to Tzelner's daughter from a previous marriage. While the temporary nickname used is "Itamar," Adam clarified this is not the actual name.
Adam shared that the chosen name is significant, reflecting the child's arrival against the odds and described it as one of the most beautiful Hebrew words, found in the Bible and songs. She stated that according to records, no other child in Israel currently bears this name, making him the first. She emphasized the name is simple, meaningful, and not pretentious.
She engaged her followers by opening a guessing game, which has generated thousands of responses, though none have been correct so far. Among the guesses were "Nes" (Miracle), "Pele" (Wonder), "Marom" (Height), "Mofet" (Prodigy), "Goral" (Fate), "Olam" (World), and "Netzach" (Eternity). Adam noted that some suggested names already exist, disqualifying them.
Further clues suggested the name would be one Tzelner would like for his son and hinted at a connection to a flight academy course. Adam described the name as something used frequently in significant moments, simple, and not controversial, yet surprisingly not yet in common use despite its depth and meaning.
Adam expressed surprise at the intensity of the guessing game, joking that her partner prefers to wait until the circumcision ceremony to reveal the name, while she would have already tattooed it. She did reveal that two guesses came very close to the correct name, leaving her followers eager for the final reveal.
