Middle name for Keziah?

We're considering Keziah as a name for DC5 if it is a girl. We would pronounce it the Hebraic way (Ketz-EE-ah). DH is a vicar and we would like to stick to Biblical names but also fairly traditional for the middle name. It is probably kindest to avoid a name starting with a vowel (definitely not A, E or O) otherwise the baby could have interesting rude initials.

We are rubbish at coming up with names so any ideas would be great.

You know, I never knew that Keziah was supposed to be pronounced that way. I don't know any, have only ever seen it written down so have always said Kez-aye-uh to myself. Pretty name but I like it as Ketz-ee-ah even better I think.

Um,

Keziah Faith
Keziah Rebekah
Keziah Ruth
Keziah Delilah
Keziah Lydia
Keziah Deborah
Keziah Judith
Keziah Hope
Keziah Martha
Keziah Miriam
Keziah Naomi

It can be pronounced Ketz-EE-ah (Hebraic), Kez-EE-ah (British) or KEZ-aye-uh (American) apparently.

I think Keziah Ruth has a lovely sound to it.

Very pretty name. I think a shorter middle name goes best:

Ketziah Faith
Ketziah Myra
Ketziah Rose
Ketziah Joy
Ketziah Grace

DD2 is Keziah ( Kez-ee-ah) with middle names S t a r U n I t y
Agree that a short middle name flows better

Keziah Hope
Keziah Joy

NoRoomForALittleOne · 19/12/2014 22:23

Thanks for all of your suggestions. I think that Grace is my favourite. DH, on the other hand, has gone off the name Keziah!
