Re: Beulah

I'd pronounce it byoola, because that's the English pronunciation.
I think it's strange and fascinating, like most of the odder Biblical names. (I enjoyed its comments section.) It's not something I'd ever use because I don't like the sound much, and never having met anyone called it, it mainly reminds me of grim-looking Victorian chapels, which often have names like this in Wales. But it would be fun to see in use, and it's definitely not a boring filler middle name.
