A middle name for Selah

[Flutterflybutterby]

What middle name would you pair with this girl's name?

Does it have to be biblical @Flutterflybutterby?

How is Selah pronounced?

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

@BunnyRuddington

Does it have to be biblical *@Flutterflybutterby*?

No, not necessarily although would be nice (but not essential) to have some religious connection!

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.

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

Which syllable is the stress on?

Selah Naomi
Selah Rae
Selah Jasmine
Selah Marianne
Selah Rachel
Selah Miriam
Selah Ruth
Selah Yasmin

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 Yasmin oh I really like that pairing

Selah Naomi
Selah Ruth
Selah Grace
Selah Hope
Selah Patience
Selah Faith
Selah Constance
Selah Eden
Selah Rose
Selah Pearl

Selah Abigail
Selah Catherine
Selah Josephine
Selah Elizabeth
Selah Rachel

@ineedsun Why is that funny? I don't know the pronunciation either. I've never come across this name before. Assuming biblical from previous comments.
It could be See-la or Shu-la, or something else!

Because there is another thread discussing how its pronounced.

I think the general opinion was cellar - as in below stairs.

Well I haven't seen that thread. Don't assume.

I didn’t know how it was pronounced either. I presumed like ‘seller’. If that’s the case, I’d avoid a middle name that sounds anything like ‘brate’.

Seleh Grave is lovely.

Grace not grave! Sorry terrible autocorrect!

Selah Jane
Selah Rose

Selah Rebecca? I’m not sure of the biblical spelling sorry

There was another huge thread about this yesterday
Maybe the OP could link and it would explain how to pronounce it

Hello! The word is pronounced 'See-luh' but as a name it's commonly pronounced 'Say-luh'. We like both and haven't decided on the pronunciation we'd use yet

I prefer Say-lur, slightly, I think, but am worried people might think I named my child 'Sailor' which is very cool and modern and so not at all me

Thank you for the suggestions, some lovely ones! Keep them coming!
