Your DC would have to forever answer[b] “How do you say your name?”[/b][/quote]

[b]This happens no matter what your name is.

No, I disagree.  From a highly educated perspective (and someone who reads a lot, especially Jewish mysticism), I love the name, just like I love the name Avi.  However, would I name my kid it? No, because most people won't know what it means, how to pronounce it and my kid would be forever correcting people that it's not Yale.  You have to make the decision from the kid's perspective.  Remember Endeavour Morse.  Just because his mom was Quaker and wanted a "character" name meant he was forever humiliated, especially when in service to his country.  Don't do it.[/quote]

Endeavor Morse is a fictional character! Many fictional characters have weird names and were not humiliated. But I don’t think it has any bearing on whether you should name your kid Yael.

Not to mention, that if you’ve read many of the Morse novels, the author was clearly trying to create the ultimate woobie, so of course his name sucked for him. [/quote]
