Why on earth is Feminine Biblical name Jael being used as a Masculine name in the USA, apparently making this name Unisex?
Apparently according to the USA Social Security Administration 202 boys and 206 girls were recorded with the name Jael in 2012. How?

My name is Jaela. Pronounced JAY-la. I have always really loved my name. It's somewhat simple (even if it's often mispronounced due to the spelling). I can't really recall anything bad about my name to date. Although, I will have to agree with some of the "jail" comments. If a person with a British or certain other European accent is introduced to me, they have to say it a few times because they automatically think of "Jailer".
The name Jael was given to 150 girls and 128 boys born in the US in 2015.
The name Jael was also given to 204 baby girls in the US in 2012. I understand it's a Hebrew name, but it really does sound like 'jail'.
