I can understand the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th, & 7th ending above. I'm not familar with Pompadios. And, I guess Awoman is what a female says instead of Amen (as she isn't one of the men or guys).

Amen and halleluyah are both endings to Jewish/Hebrew prayers/blessings. Funny how they are now used by most everyone else, and they don't even know where they came from. Jews do not end prayer with Shalom, which is a greeting (hello, goodbye, peace)
I say Amen.

Amen means "so be it" or "it is so" and I guess that's why it became a standard prayer ending. It's sort of an affirmation of faith that you truly believe God has heard and will answer your prayer. I don't even know what good prayer is supposed to do. God supposedly knows what you want and has already decided whether or not to give it to you. Will praying about it really change his mind?

AWoman is a ditsy feminist misunderstanding of the root of a Babylonian word. Hallelujah is a Hebrew exclamation of praise, shalom means peace in Hebrew. The rest are "thank you" in other languages.

Amen is translated "rock" or "like a rock" So, I would suggest Amen, since it ends your prayer with strength and longevity. It has nothing to do with male of female.

I say amen...
An expression used at the end of prayers, and meaning, So be it. At the end of a creed, it is a solemn asseveration of belief. When it introduces a declaration, it is equivalent to truly, verily.
Note: It is used as a noun, to denote:
(a) concurrence in belief, or in a statement; assent;
(b) the final word or act;
(c) Christ as being one who is true and faithful.

Amen, which means I agree.
I also like Hallelujah, which means "Praise Jehovah", in the familiar......Jah is the familiar of Jehovah.
