Help[Opinions] Re: Selah for a boy?
in reply to a message by foxglove
I doubt a TV show set in Colonial America was going for Arabic Saleh. But I see nothing gendered about "pause and reflect". Many male names end in the "a", especially Hebrew/biblical. Ezra, Micah, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Uriah, Asa, Ira, etc. Selah on a boy is perfectly nice.

I'm guessing this reply wasn't actually for me, but either way Selah Strong (the character op referenced), Anna Strong's husband, was very much a real person so I'd imagine they just named the character what his actual name was within history. I'd assume the real Selah's parents named him that as a biblical reference.
