Adah: Looks weird with that h at the end, and I'm not sure how to pronounce it. Like Ada? Ay-da, I mean? Don't like it, sounds frumpy and old. Ah-dah? La-dee-da.
Dinah: Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah ... Dinah won't you blow? It's ugly.
Eve: It's okay, but Eva rolls off the tongue more smoothly.
Junia: This has a weird sound, like Junior in a Brooklyn accent. I do like June.
Keturah: It's just too odd-sounding for me to like.
Keziah: Pretty sound but a bit cold and aloof.
Lydia: Hate it. Sounds simpering and sniggering and servile, like a maid who's secretly poisoning the scones in a cozy mystery.
Ophira: No idea about this so can't get behind it. It doesn't look very nice and the pronunciations I can think of don't appeal at all.
Penninah: Penis and panini jokes are too easy.
Sapphira: Sapphire is overblown itself, this is worse.
Susannah: It's okay but I like Suzanne better.
Zelpha: Zo zelfish it's zimply dizguzting.
Zipporah: Zippers.
