Hallelujah

[LolaTheShowgirl]

But it would always be Halle (Pr. hal-lay ... like Halle Berry) for short.

no no no no no

you joking

Strangely I was thinking only if you mostly use Halle before I opened up the thread.

There are a chorus of reasons why not.

Largely that if she graduated university they will use her full name and it will sound like a miracle she passed her exams.

Why not just call her Halle

I like it.

No - wrong and bad.

No you don't, savoycabbage. You only think you do!

No sorry.

Haha - my friend says she will call her first born daughter Hallelujah - Lelu (pronounced lay-loo) for short. I thought she was the only person crazy enough to consider it

Dd and I were looking things up for her history homework and we found some amazing Puritan names. I offer for your consiteration "Wrestling-with-the-Devil", "Praise-God" and "Flee-Fornication"

What about 'praisethelord' - Prazzie for short?

Actually, Fi-Fi would be a sweet abbreviation for "Flee-Fornication"

its not a name

nooooooooooooooooooooo

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

no

Halibut has a nice ring to it.

Helle for short. Or Butt....

sorry, Halle

Or Halitosis?

Surely it could be shortened to Lulu?

My father employs someone with dds called Hallelujah and Hosannah, called Halle and Anna by everyone except their father

so why call her hallelujah if you never intend to call the child that. Just call her Halle and be done with it

it reminds me of what you hear at the bus stop when the bus finally turns up. Somebody always mutters Hallelujah.

Halle is better.
I've heard of a Hosanna!

It's wrong on so many levels.

1. People will think she was named after the X Factor song (Leonard Cohen)

2. People will think you are muttering, Hallelujah all the time and believe you are a slightly deranged religious person, when calling out for your DD.

Halle is better.
