Help[Opinions] Re: Beulah
in reply to a message by Piccadilly
What do I think of it? I like it. It’s an old-fashioned 19th century name with some good associations. It’s also substantial and solid, a quality lacking in most names popular today.
Will it ever become popular again? Almost certainly not. The sound doesn’t fit with current trends and it has a reputation as a “great grandma name.” The meaning also doesn’t really fit today’s culture.
I pronounce it BYOO-lah in English, Beh-oo-lah in Hebrew.
