Beulah?

[Kwini]

For a girl.

Or does it make you think of an antebellum maidservant from the Deep South?

Makes me think of Ferris.
Beulah, Beulah, Beulah...

Antebellum maidservant the size of a horse.

My dyslexic brain associates it with ebola Once I've got over that, I'm still not keen...

Not my cup of tea really.

Porkys

Ferris here too.....

Antebellum maidservant from the deep south. Don't do it.

it sounds like caviar

Beulah Ballbreaker?

no.

don't.

sounds antebellum all right. but more like for a middle thin post menopausal housemaid.

Beulah is a dodgy part of South-East London!!

peel me a grape

God, no. NO.

yuck!

I have a friend from Botswana called Beulah so it has good connotations for me because she is fiesty, funny and beautiful. She did get called "Ferris" as a nickname from some people but I think she quite liked it!

I am going to have to post my guidance notes again aren't I?

its a village in wales

And an American Band.

And the name of a company thant makes Fishing Rods!

The only thing that comes to mind for me is a brief joke that Bill Bryson made in Notes from a Small Country (I think). However, I think it has definite potential and is certainly unusual.
