Urijah?

DH and I are still going at the name game. Just trying to get opinions.

Honestly, it looks lke you slapped Uri and Elijah together.

WTF?

I would have a hard time knowing how to say that.  I'm assuming it's Ur-eye-ah...if so, and you decide to use it, I would recommend sticking with the traditional "Uriah".  If it's to be pronounced like it's spelled, please just don't.  It sounds terrible and made up.

Honestly, though, I'd pick a different name altogether.  Every time I hear this name, I think of the words "urea", "urinal" and "urine".  Not really the association I would want made with my child.  Sorry!

This. I immediatly thought Elijah. Not to mention its difficult to pronounce.

I love it.

I think it's alright... My hubby and I are UFC fans, and there's a fighter named Urijah Faber. That's the only time I've ever heard it. 

Cass&Derek

haha, DH and I are UFC fans too, and I have always loved his name, which is where we came up with it (not necessarily named after him, but you get it). We've considered Elijah, but our last name starts with Eli___, not a good combo to us. Thanks for your comments, a friend said it reminded her of urine also, so I needed more general thoughts. I hate naming a boy. DH and I cannot agree on anything! And what we do the general public thinks is just a bad name to name a kid....ie Urijah.

I like it now that I've thought about it for a minute; but my mind initially went to pee.  Sorry.

I don't like it at all.  I've heard of the fighter, but it's just not an attractive name in any way.

miababy

Yeah, the first thing I though of was urine - not good!  

Jessiree

Just food for thought: I went to elementary school with a Uriah who was endlessly tormented and called "urinal." He eventually began using his middle name because of the Uriah/urinal association.

What? No. Just no.

Sounds like some sort of UTI.  Not good.

Please don't.

Do you mean Uriah, like Bathsheeba's husband in the Bible?

At least I know I'm not alone..

I know a baby named this...I think this is how they spell it.  He is super cute and they call him Yur-ee. It still makes me think of urine though when I see it written..
