Selah Yasmin oh I really like that pairing

Something starting with a short hard Kuh sound -Katie, Caroline - as the first name has long, soft sounds (assuming it’s pronounced a bit like cellar or sailor).

Selah Jasmine
Selah Marianne
Selah Rachel

Which syllable is the stress on?

BunnyRuddington · 15/01/2022 10:19

How about Elisha, which I think means the salvation of God?

Fivebeanchilli · 15/01/2022 09:59

Selah Elizabeth
Selah Imogen
Selah Florence
Selah Madeleine
Selah Constance
Selah Tabitha

I think a longer middle name sounds much better. I think one not ending in an -a sound is better - so Selah Jemima sounds a bit much but Selah Tabitha is not quite as bad.

@BunnyRuddington

Does it have to be biblical *@Flutterflybutterby*?

No, not necessarily

although would be nice (but not essential) to have some religious connection!

Think you need a monosyllabic name to follow eg. Rose or Jane or Faye

LublinToDublin · 15/01/2022 09:48

How is Selah pronounced?
