Comments for the name Uriah

This name is pronounced oo-ryah in Hebrew.

In the Dickens novel "David Copperfield" there is a character called Uriah Heep. He's very creepy and lusts after David's best friend, Agnes.

This name is like something to do with your bladder.

I love this name. However, I feel that it is somewhat unusable considering it's common association with 'urine'. It's too bad though; this would make a cool name.

Mwahahaha! This name is chosen by two types of parents: the religious nuts from some backwood places, and the Uriah Heep fans who don't like to broaden their musical horizons, because ''if it was made after 1975, I don't like it!''. Either way, it immediately makes me think that oh, the parents are trash.

Or you know, people who just like the name, heaven forbid that should happen.

I would never use this name because I find it dangerously close to the word urea and once Uriah's classmates start biology I'm he would be teased a lot.

Uriah ben Shemaiah preached the destruction of Zion at the same time as Jeremiah, but while Jeremiah remained in Judea and was justified, Uriah fled to Egypt where he was hunted and killed.

It's kind of cool, but it's too close to "urine" for me.

Personally, I could never name my child Uriah because of David Copperfield, but I think it's a cool name.

The Uriah in the Bible was a great man. I like this name.

It is the middle name of Dr. Zack Addy, the title character's intern/assistant from the first few seasons of the tv show Bones.
