HelpI secretly love…
Beulah. I feel like it’s one of those names that almost everyone hates, but I just think it’s adorable. I love the airiness of -lah prefixed with the punchy Beu-.
What do you think, do you hate it? Thanks!

I dislike it because the German "Beule" means "bump" as in "bumping your head".
But I can see how it would be okay in an English speaking country. It is not awful.

It's not my style and I wouldn't use it. It's also not my culture.

I don't waste my hatred on unimportant things or things I can't change. So, no. But a world without Beulah would be a happier place; never has a name sounded more like a cow with sinusitis.

You're not alone. It's always been a name I love, right from the time I was a child.

Yay! :)

I like it. It looks and sounds so grand, and it also has a 1920s vibe to it. The meaning is somewhat okay.
2
Sorry, can’t stand it. The sound of the name is like someone vomiting!

Yeah, I hate it. Firefly and Starfish have already explained why. I'm sorry.

I hate it. It sounds like the noise a camel makes when it's dry heaving.
I'm happy that you like it, though. It needs SOMEONE to love it, lol.

Send me all of your unloved names, they will be loved here, haha.

What about Bertha?

I’ll take her :) It makes me thing of a sweet working class Victorian girl, or something.

Lord, it's hideous. BYOOOOOO-la. Ugh. And so Puritan too. One of my least favourite names overall.

You don’t think it’s BYOOOOOO-tiful? Haha!

I'm afraid not haha!

I actually like it
2
I actually don’t think it’s that bad! It’s not so different to Bella in sound, and people seem to like that.
2
It's the first syllable. Bewwwww sounds so whiny to me. I don't hate the name, but I don't like it. I also don't like the meaning. I would like it slightly more if it were pronounced Bow-la.
2
Interesting! Bow-lah for me is just “bowler” so that would make me like it a lot less! Unless you mean bow to rhyme with now of course, in which case it sounds like bowel, haha.

Don't like it at all

Yes, I hate it! Hahaha. Everything about it is ugly! I hate the way "Beu" looks, and I think the "punchiness" of it is just awkward. And "lah" is silly and I think very incongruous with Beu.

Hahaha, thanks!
