Hallelujah - too out there?

Thoughts?

It’s definitely too out there for me, but I think the nn [name_u]Halle[/name_u]/Hallie makes it doable.

It’s too much for me, but it could work as a middle name.

I know @jonquils loves this name so it’s not an unheard of choice. Personally I like the idea of the name being a first and middle of [name_u]Halle[/name_u] [name_u]Lou[/name_u]

Too out there for me. What about [name_f]Hallie[/name_f], [name_u]Holly[/name_u]?

I like it!

Definitely too out there imo. Maybe it could work as a middle? It’d still be a stretch though. [name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_f]Hailey[/name_f], [name_u]Halley[/name_u], or another similar name?

It’s definitely too much for me, sorry. Tbh, if I met someone named [name_f]Hallelujah[/name_f], I’d be a bit intimidated, since it just feels way over-the-top. I think it would be a difficult name to live with because of this, and I’d be worried about how it would impact the child. As a middle name it would probably be fine but as a first, I just think it would be more trouble for the child than it might be worth to you as a parent.

Thanks for your opinions, everyone! I don’t think I’m going to use this name—if I did I would put it as a middle—but I sort of like it and was just wondering what you all thought of it.

@SparkleNinja18, I’m not going to be a parents for aaaannnnyy time soon (15 years or something) but I definitely agree!

I kind of love it, but I probably wouldn’t use it.

Yes; it’s too much and a lot to live up to on a daily basis.

It’s too much.
I do know people who are named [name_f]Hallel[/name_f] or [name_m]Hillel[/name_m], which are from the same root, and are much more doable.

Holly was a great suggestion too.

I’ve always thought [name_f]Hallelujah[/name_f] would be a pretty name! It is a little out there but with the nick name [name_f]Hallie[/name_f] I think it would be fine! If you want something a little more normal how about [name_f]Tallulah[/name_f] nn [name_f]Lulu[/name_f]?

Too out there. [name_u]Love[/name_u] the suggestion of [name_f]Tallulah[/name_f].

It is a bold choice but it does have usable nicknames that could make it work

Too out there for me, but I do know a [name_f]Hosanna[/name_f], so it’s not a completely wild suggestion!

[name_f]Hosanna[/name_f] is so beautiful :heart_eyes:

[name_f]Hosanna[/name_f] is very pretty. [name_u]Holly[/name_u] is like one of my favorite names! I also love [name_f]Tallulah[/name_f]. As I said before, if I were ever to use [name_f]Hallelujah[/name_f] it would be only for a middle and only for fun, not on a real child :upside_down_face: But thanks for everyone’s feedback!

Hosanna reminds me of a song I once sang in choir called Festival Sanctus, which is in Latin, and whenever I see the name I start singing it in my head. Hosanna, [name_f]Hosanna[/name_f] deo, hosanna in ecelsis! (I don’t really remember the spelling lol)
