My opinion is that the name's datedness and stereotypical associations with black maids are enough to dissuade most people from wanting to use it without the meaning being thrown in. It's worked for a hundred years or so already.
The religious aspects of the name can't be all bad, though, because there's a hymn called Beulah Land.
I think, therefore I judge.

Christianity and Judaism are two completely different religions
I don't think Jews sing Christian hymns and I doubt Christians are Jewish scholars.

From the comment is seems that only Talmud scholars or very Orthodox Jews would have an issue with, but stating that a Christian hymn means it's OK in all religions makes no sense.
