Selah Sue

[quote inappropriateraspberry]@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![/quote]
Because there was a huge thread about how to pronounce the name yesterday (or Friday) with lots of disagreement. I assumed the poster was referring to that.

@inappropriateraspberry

Well I haven't seen that thread. Don't assume.
Why the attitude? You asked a question, you got an answer.

It wasn’t funny because of the pronunciation but because it’s an unusual name with two threads about it in two days.

@ineedsun It just came across that you were laughing at someone because they were querying the pronunciation. No reference to another thread at all.
It appeared quite condescending with no explanation.

Not at all, the other thread was in active conversations a lot yesterday and very busy so a lot of people saw and contributed to it. The poster who mentioned pronunciation seemed to be referencing it, it was a funny reference given how busy the other thread was and the number of different ways people can pronounce it.

People aren’t always being dicks you know?

I didn't know of the other thread when I asked the question @inappropriaterasberry and did think
@ineedsun
was mocking my lack of knowledge.
It makes sense in context and I would have liked to have claimed that I was being as witty as ineedsun assumed but I was merely confused all round Blush.
Glad I understand now 🙂

Apologies @LublinToDublin it really wasn’t - I thought you were hilarious!

@ineedsun

Apologies *@LublinToDublin* it really wasn’t - I thought you were hilarious!
Thanks @ineedsun if only I had been that witty Grin

Selah Talitha works and it's a nice biblical name too

Luredbyapomegranate · 16/01/2022 17:37

Something simple and classic as Selah is a bit pout there, fairly long sound for contrast, no ‘ah’ endings. Abigail might be a bit of a religion pile on, but the rest are more general.

Elizabeth
Constance
Abigail
Katherine
Penelope
Emily
Rosalind
Evelyn
Frances
Caroline
Etc
