What do you guys thinking about naming a baby girl Israela?

Question

I initially loved the name Israel for a boy but wasn't sure what to name the baby if it's a girl and so I added the a at the end and thought the name sounded beautiful, but I'm getting mixed reviews from our family... be careful what you name your baby etc how will that name look on a resume and that the name isn't 'common' so now I'm confused. Any thoughts or ideas? Suggestions? Thank You :)

Answer 1

name that I like for a girl are "emily and Lily" ..........

but if you like that name..it doesn't matter what others think, especialy family members.... go for it!!!

Answer 2

i think its beautiful, its unique. You do have to becareful on what you name your child bc you don't want them picked on , but i'd rather a unique name then a common one. On a resume its not the name its the personality of a person. Someone can have a unique name & still be plain & someone that has a common name can be unique. Either way that is so pretty

Answer 3

I personally don't like it, but if you and hubby do, then don't listen to others

Answer 4

I like it. It's uncommon but not off-the-wall!*

Answer 5

I think it's a great name.  You have taken a significant and well known name and created a unique name out of it.  How it will look on a resume is the dumbest thing to consider; it isn't common? Some of the worst names out there are common sounding names that someone has bastardized to try and be unique.

What does it sound like, how does it make you feel, how will others sound it out, does the root name have significance?  Those can be important things to consider, and the sounding it out can be overcome as everyone 'you care about' gets used to it.

Well I've known people with unique names that haven't had any problems in life. Were very popular in school have jobs etc. Lead normal lives just like those with popular names.
