Re: Leah?
in reply to a message by Perrine
As a side note on the story... I think most people choose it because in the story God showed favor on Leah because of her situation and she became the mother of several big names in the Bible... one of whom was Judah - who was the father of the people who became the country of Judea... and where we get the word (and the people)"Jews".
She was literally a mother of the Jews.

Yes, the story definitely has some nice aspects to it as well and I also think that that is why religious people often use the name as well! It will never be a favorite, but in general I love Biblical names, especially Rebecca.
