Re: Selah for a boy?
I only know it as a Hebrew word that appears at the ends of some psalms and is interpreted as either a sign that the music stops or a word, a bit like 'Amen", that signals the end and also somewhat means 'So be it' or "let it be'. With that meaning, old-fashioned Afrikaans speakers sometimes use it in ordinary discourse, but their intonation suggests that they would like the particular outcome but have no great hopes of ever experiencing it!So, not a name at all in my mind.
