Middle name help for Selah

Veegrace · August 2013

Second girl due anyway now. I love the name Selah (biblical, meaning "to pause and reflect")
Can't decide on a middle name though. I like Selah Grace but that's our older daughters middle name. Daddy likes Selah Rose.

Still not 100% on the entire name choice either but we have zero backup names. We like classic, sweet feminine names that aren't common at all. (Not in the top 1000 names)
Please no negativity. Just looking for supportive and constructive thoughts to help us make a decision.
Thank you!

I like a one syllable name with Selah: Pearl, Mae, June. Selah Rose is very pretty.

I like Sela... As a NN for Gisela. He-sell-uh.
You could stick with virtue mns to "go" with the biblical fn.
faith
Hope
Grace
Etc

I have an acquaintance with a Selah Rae, at least I think that is her middle name!

We have a girl named Selah Mirriel (not sure on the spelling /mir/ /ee/ /el/) in our church. I think her middle name is a family name.

This is our dd baby name if its a girl.
My bucket of names other than Selah are:

Mckenna
Delaney
Colette
Harper

I totally read this as Sarah at first... I need caffeine.
I was going to suggest Sarah Ann because it's my baby cousin's name and the first thing that came into my head. I like Selah Ann too.

If you're okay with it, just do it!

My husband has the same middle name as his 5 siblings. Francis for the boys and Frances for the girls. NMS, but that's how they worked it.

Thank you so much ladies! Love the suggestions! You've also helped me feel more confident in the name Selah!! I really appreciate all the positive responses!!

would it be strange to have both of our daughters with the same middle name, "grace?"

brittryan86 · October 2013

LOVE the name Selah! Grace is a beautiful name also, and I've heard of others using the same MN with each of their children. However, IMO I think each child should have their own unique MN as they are all special in their own way! :-) God Bless!

I love the name Selah. We are having a boy, but if it had been a girl she would have been Selah Johanna

Yes, that would be weird. DDs' MNs are Piper and Jane; both are cute with Selah. You could stick with the virtue theme of Grace ad go Hope, Joy, Prudence, Temperance, Faith, Felicity, Constance, Comfort, Verity....

I have never heard of this name! I don't mind it.
Selah Jane?
What are your mothers' names? Could you honor them with using one of their first or middle names?

Cricket Bug · October 2013

Love Selah! I really like PPs suggestions of Selah Joy!

annam123 · November 2013

We plan to go with Selah Grace for our first girl, but I understand not wanting to do the same middle name for both children. Glad to hear other people loving the name Selah though, as I have never actually met someone with the name. I like most of the PP suggestions.
