Lael...That's pretty! I'd pronounce it Lah-ALE or Lah-ELL. I know that in Hebrew there is a word El which is not El meaning God. Shalom, Y :)

i am alittle confused on what you meant here, mostly the "el which is not el" part. i'm not trying to be rude or mean. i'm just confused
just curious, is your name hebrew? where did you get it from?

Then it's probably Lale.
Ehl versus ale..."God" is Ale, like the drink; ehl is a little short word like 'the', 'and', 'for', in English, but I don't know what it means.
No and yes: the name my mom gave me is Latin, Julia, but on this site I go by Yahalome Tal. Yahalome is not an actual name, I just looked up "diamond" in a Hebrew-English dictionary. Click on Tal. I liked the phrase "Diamind Dew" as a name.
I am not Jewish, to my slight disappointment, but I love the Hebrew language and culture. I first got into it from my parent's Messianic Hebrew/English cd's and tapes. I am Anglo-American Protestant Christian, and I love God's chosen people: my heart aches for those who still reject their Mashiach.
Y :)
