[Opinions] Re: Sarah, Sarai, Hagar...
Sarah: dull as yesterday's dishwater.
Sarai: I would pronounce it like Sa-RAY. Not bad but I would not ever use it.
Hagar: As in Sammy? As in the old comic strip "Hagar the Horrible" about the Viking? (His wife, I believe was named Helga. Why is it I have retained that memory all these years?)
Abraham, Abram: Can't see a modern man being named Abraham, it's past its time. Also had a ditzy teacher named Mrs. Abrams once.
Iaac: Would never use it but it's all right.

Ishmael: Call me Ishmael. That's all its good for.
And it was so nice of Sarah to give her maid to her husband, then throw her and the son that resulted out in the desert when Hagar's having a son was exactly what Sarah had intended to happen.
