Uriah

I don’t like Ur- names, but it has a nice meaning, so I like it.

I LOVE HOW IT SOUNDS!
But I hate how it looks. Imma gonna look for a better spelling.

I wish I could like this name but it has always reminded me of “urinal”.

Well I am a woman with this name even though it is considered a masculine name... I personally think it is quite unisex. I love this name but yes, I got called Urea a lot by clients unsure of how to pronounce my name. 9 times out of 10 someone butchers it. I still love the name. It's definitely unique and I have yet to meet someone else with the name.

This is probably one of the worst Biblical names to get popular lately. It's ugly, and it reminds me of the words "urethra" and "urine".

This is a pretty awesome name, but there are two strong pop culture associations with it (outside of the Bible):

---

1. Uriah Heep, villain of "David Copperfield" (one of Dickens' best novels)
&
2. Uriah Heep, the 70's rock (early metal?) band who named themselves after association #1.

---

I'm not much of a fan of the band. And while the character Uriah Heep is outstandingly crafted and developed, he's still basically the quintessential sycophant / social climber, which isn't exactly an ideal name association.

This is a pretty bad ass name, I love it.

The Uriah in the Bible was a great man. I like this name.

Personally, I could never name my child Uriah because of David Copperfield, but I think it's a cool name.

It's kind of cool, but it's too close to "urine" for me.

I would never use this name because I find it dangerously close to the word urea and once Uriah's classmates start biology I'm he would be teased a lot.

Mwahahaha! This name is chosen by two types of parents: the religious nuts from some backwood places, and the Uriah Heep fans who don't like to broaden their musical horizons, because ''if it was made after 1975, I don't like it!''. Either way, it immediately makes me think that oh, the parents are trash.

Or you know, people who just like the name, heaven forbid that should happen.

I love this name. However, I feel that it is somewhat unusable considering it's common association with 'urine'. It's too bad though; this would make a cool name.

This name is like something to do with your bladder.
