this name..how do you like it?

Question

jezebelle therese ***. if its a girl.

i like the first name. ilike the names together, but if you can come up with a better middle name please let me know

Answer 1

Jessabella Terena is a really pretty name, somebody said it above me?

I think the z in Jezebelle is distracting me, maybe Jesebelle or something.

But besides, anything ending in belle or bella is pretty :]

Answer 2

A world of no.

While there's debate about how bad the Biblical Jezebel really was, there's little doubt that the name is now slang for a wicked woman, a bad girl, a temptress. From Elvis Presley to Iron & Wine, bands have recorded songs about her. You may not be the least bit church-ey, but Jezebel's reputation is pretty well known.

I can't imagine having a name with such heavy associations. Jezebel is almost a euphemistic way of calling someone a whore. Adding an extra "le" to the name doesn't soften it, sorry.

It's one of the few names that I think is really off limits. Unusual is great, but this is cruel.

Answer 3

Naming a baby is very difficult, to say the least. Obviously, you have to like the name, but you have to consider the impact it will have on your child. (I really think that is more important than how much we may like the name.) The name you are asking about, Jezebel, was the name of an evil, murderous queen. A dictionary will give you this as one meaning of Jezebel: "any woman considered to be wicked or shameless." Often a child will live up to its name. In view of this, you may decide not to name your daughter Jezebel.

Answer 4

It is very unique; that's for sure. I'm not sure if I like Jezebelle, but I like therese.

Answer 5

I like the name, the only thing is in the book A Handmaids Tale, and also an older song by 10,000 maniacs, the name didnt have good connotations. Although Im not sure if these are the actual meanings, or just a character in the song or story. May want to check on it.

Answer 6

I think Therese Jezebelle would be better.People can call her T.J. and they will probally will think her middle name is Jane or something and it would make her unique.

Answer 7

Jezebelle / Jezebel means A woman who is regarded as evil and scheming.

If you still like it htne okay

Answer 8

But Teresa was the greatest of all the saints! She is one of the 33 doctors of the Church with two other women. Her painful visions led her to say, "Lord, either let me suffer or let me die."

The greatest of the saints read her writings. Her simplicity was her greatness.

Leave the name as it is.

Answer 9

First off, the spelling is Jezebel

and this is where it derives from:

In the Tanakh (the Hebrew Scriptures and the Christian Old Testament), Jezebel is a queen of ancient Israel, whose story is told in I Kings. She is introduced by the author as a Phoenician princess, the daughter of King Ithobaal I of Tyre, who marries King Ahab. She turns Ahab away from the God of the Israelites and of the Jews (being the inhabitants of Judah in this context) and towards the worship of her god, Baal. The two then allow temples of Baal to open in Israel. Jezebel uses her control over Ahab to subject Israel to tyranny. After she slaughters the prophets of the Lord, the prophet Elijah confronts her to charge her with abominations. She responds by threatening to kill him as well. After Ahab's death, Jezebel continues to rule through her son Ahaziah. When Ahaziah is killed in battle, she exercises control through her other son, Jehoram. Jehoram is killed by Jehu, who confronts Jezebel in Jezreel and urges her servants to kill her by throwing her out a window (defenestration). They comply, tossing her out the window and leaving her corpse in the street to be eaten by dogs; only her skull, feet, and hands remained, in fulfillment of Elijah's prophecy. Her daughter, Athaliah, is wed to King of Judah, Jehoram, similarly corrupting Judah.
