[Opinions] Re: Beulah
in reply to a message by Piccadilly
Honestly, it's one of the worst proper names out there. I dislike how it looks and sounds and doesn't even have a nice meaning to compensate... I'd say BYOO-lah.
Also it starts with Beul, which is Dutch for Executioner, so to me it looks like someone tried to feminize Executioner.
It wouldn't be overly bothersome as a MN, but I'd definitely steer clear of it as a FN. I'm not fond of Pearl Beulah, bc I also don't really like the sound of Pearl. I do like its looks & meaning though.
If forced, I'd combine Beulah with a more light and cheerful FN:
Rosalie Beulah
Ivy Beulah
Vivienne Beulah
Lily Beulah
Milly Beulah
Elsie Beulah
