[Opinions] Keziah vs Keturah
I love both of them and can't choose between them. Which do you prefer, and why? Do you think they would be better without the -h ending? And what middle names would you use for them? Thank you!

I prefer Keturah, but Keziah is a fun-sounding, sweet name. I like both. I think that Keturah sounds like it would work better as an adult's name, though. Keturah has a sophistication that I really like. Keziah seems like more of an outgoing, happy-go-lucky sort of name, whereas Keturah would fit a variety of personalities. I find it more versatile.
I prefer them with the -h ending. I think people would be likely to pronounce Kezia KEZ-ee-a or KEE-zee-a if you use Kezia instead of Keziah. Keturah looks more complete to me than Ketura.

I prefer Keziah, sounds softer I think. I've known a couple of people by this name and they all pronounce it KAY-zee-a.
I like Keturah more. It's a little more solid. Keziah is on the busier side, it seems almost frantic. Keturah is more my cup of tea for sure.
I'm not sure what middle name I'd use... Keturah Blythe, maybe? I do like the H ending.

Keturah simply because I've known one. She was a lovely little girl with long blonde curly hair and big blue eyes (if that helps you with a visual). I also find it more pleasant sounding.
I like Keturah better, it's pretty and unusual. Keziah sounds very masculine to me, just cause most -iah names I'm familiar with are.
I really like the -h on the end without it ke-ZIE-uh becomes KEEZ-ee-uh to me. Ketura would be pronounced the same but it doesn't look as balanced. The h makes both ends of the name tall and more visually balanced imo.

They are both lovely with great meanings! I'm not sure I can choose actually. I love the old-world, exotic sound. Also, I think the '-h' adds to the name.
Keturah!
Way more exotic without the 'kazoo' sound affect in it. I adore this name, it's on my top PNL.
