Absolutely Sela

---

Selah isn't a name. It's a pause in music and not used as a name, ever. I find it very tacky, like naming your child DC al Fine or something.

---

To be honest, though, I find both names really, really ugly.

I prefer Selah, although I generally like names without the final h (as in Sara). For some reason, Sela looks incomplete to me.

---

Of the combos you listed, I really, REALLY like Selah Gray. 2nd choice is Selah Margot. The rest are nice enough but don't jump out at me like those two. :o)

I love the look of it, and the meaning, but I just can't get into the osund :( I want to but...*shrugs* I agree with you that Selah looks more complete, and I prefer that spelling. Selah Frances and Selah Iris are my favourite combos, I'm also likeing Selah Beatrice and Rosalie.

Suggestions:
Selah Rosamund
Selah Verity
Selah Hazel
Selah Imogen
Selah Estelle

I like Selah, but not particularly Sela. Sela just looks trendy and incomplete to me. I actually didn't realize til I just now looked them up that Sela is in fact a name of it's own different from Selah. I've only ever known of Selah. I like the musical association, and it fits in with several other hebrew names that I like. Selah Iris is lovely. Normally I would go for Selah Frances, but I think it needs something a little more sweet and femmie sounding for a middle name.

Selah

A friend of mine is named Selah, and I think it's pretty with the H.

---

I like Selah Gray and Selah Frances (Though, wasn't Cora Frances one of your combos already?).

I always prn. it "SAY-lah", though it's supposed to be "SEE-lah", and my mispronunciation makes me think of "c'est la...". It's okay, but not a favorite. I think I like the H on the end, but I'm not sure. I might change my mind on that. Hmm.

---

Of the combos you suggested, I like these best:
Selah Frances
Selah Margot
Selah Rosalie

I don't really like it. I like Stella, though.

How are you pronouncing Sela/Selah?

I think it looks better with the h at the end. Sela makes me want to say cellar with an accent, or seller. It just isn't pleasing to my eye.
