That was my first thought too . xx

Oh no! There is a really horrible, sleazy character in David Copperfield called Uriah Heap. Probably one of Dickens's most unpleasant characters, every time I hear that name I think of him!

Or the band of the same name... I think it sounds beautiful but i wouldn't use it because of the above associations and possible bullying (Uriah Urine also springs to mind).

ha ha well wont be using that one lol

I wouold think of Uriah Heap too, although I quite like the name itself. Isn't it a pity when a name just cant shake its associations with someone else?!

Like Lolita, it's a pretty name but I couldn't use it because of the connotations.

First thing came to mine was Urine when reading this, it sounds pretty enough but I personally wouldnt choose it xx

How is it pronounced? Ur-eye-ah? When I read it I would have pronounced it as Urea, which isn't too good! Each to there own though hun. If you like it, go for it
