The story of Bruchy
Berachah is one of the central words of Jewish practice — the blessings said over food, over commandments, over unusual sights are all berachot. As a personal name Bracha has been in Jewish use for centuries. Ashkenazi pronunciation shifts the vowels to Brocha, and the diminutive Bruchy is the form used in daily speech and increasingly registered as the name itself in American records.

Line the two peaks up, and Starlyn's path sketches the road Bruchy is walking now.

The trade-off
- A settled meaning tied to one of the most-used words in Jewish daily practice.
- Six letters and two syllables, quick to write.
- It is entirely distinct from every other name in an American classroom.
- The middle consonant does not exist in English and will be flattened to a k.
- Bracha is the Hebrew form and looks unrelated to this one.
- It is very strongly marked as a community name, which is the intention.
