My SO's grandmother is named Elah. Pronounced EE-luh. I was thinking of incorporating it into a combo. Usually, I like the combo Margaret Ruth, but I have been thinking about Margaret Elah lately. Not sure though. Yes? No?

Hmm, I've never heard of Elah before, but I kinda like it. Margaret Elah is pretty.

What about Margaret Elah Ruth?
I think that would be nice...

I think Margaret Elah is a lovely way of honoring your SO's grandmother. Elah is very nice.

While I'm not a huge fan of Elah, I do like Margaret Elah (and greatly prefer it to Margaret Ruth).

I like Elah. I think it's better as a fn though; Margaret Ruth is a great combo (and it does sound more natural than Margaret Elah), so I'd save Elah for a different combo.

I'm all for honouring, but Margaret Elah feels a little forced to me. Margaret Ruth, on the other hand, is my mom's name and seems more natural.

I don think Elah is neat though. I'd for sure keep it in mind and maybe try out some other combos.

Margaret Ruth has more of a classic sound to it, but I prefer Elah over Ruth. :)
