Jim,

You never answered me about my idea for the name Judah from Wednesday
December 19.

I thought the name could be from the name of G-d spelled yud-hay combined
with the hophal of the verb praise (hay vav dalet hay), so it would be "G-d
was praised", since Judah's mother praised G-d when he was born.

You thought it was the 4 letter name of G-d combined with praise, and that it
is a pun.
