[name_f]Do[/name_f] you prefer the name [name_f]Selah[/name_f] or [name_f]Opal[/name_f] for a girl?

We already have a daughter named [name_f]Nova[/name_f] [name_f]Coraline[/name_f].

They both have similar sounds to [name_f]Nova[/name_f], so it’s a hard choice. I actually prefer [name_f]Opal[/name_f] but I think [name_f]Selah[/name_f] sounds better with [name_f]Nova[/name_f]. [name_f]Nova[/name_f] gives me a cool futuristic vibe, which I also get from [name_f]Selah[/name_f]. [name_f]Opal[/name_f] seems old-fashioned and sweetly southern… Both great choices!

[name_f]Opal[/name_f] pairs best with [name_f]Nova[/name_f].

[name_f]Selah[/name_f] makes me think of the Psalms, which is lovely, but to me it’s more a word than a name. Loosely translated it means ‘Pause and think on that’ so it’s kind of an odd thing to name a child, but it has a lovely sound.
