Keturah

This is my name! And I love it. Because of its rarity, it feels uniquely mine. Growing up though, no one was able to pronounce it correctly. I have to constantly correct people on how to say it. Many are very curious of its origins and meaning. Most everyone I meet tell me it is a very beautiful name and that they have never heard of it before... and a few comment on how unusual it is.

Definitely African-American. Definitely.

(When said as "ki-TOOR-ə"), I personally LOVE the sound of Keturah ~ just gorgeous! :)

I think this is a really pretty name. The first thing I think of when I hear it though, is Katara from Avatar: The Last Airbender (not a bad thing, just saying).

I love the keh-tyoo-rah pronunciation. I never understood this name until I heard it said out loud and then I was like, "hey that's nice". :)

Beautiful strong name. I like the Keh TOOR ah pronunciation. Very unusual in usage and sound. I love the way it looks and the musical quality of it.

Ugly, old-fashioned, and too obviously Biblical.

One of my friend's names is Keturah. She calls herself Kerah, and even "forgets" sometimes that her real name is Keturah. She pronounces it "Ke-Chur-ah" or "Ke-Tyur-ah". It fits her personality well and is a good name.
