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.

I much prefer Keziah, Keturah's harsh sounding imo.

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.

I am quite partial to Keturah because it is my great-great-great-great-grandmother's name, and Alice Keturah is very high on my list of combos. Keziah isn't bad either, but I will, of course, opt for Keturah.
