Jim,

Pharaoh's daughter is named בתיה, the daughter of Yah.  Albeit, this is not 
recorded in Exodus, but in 1Chronicles.  Obviously, the Hebrews gave her that 
name. This is an indication that, on the one hand, she was accepted into the 
fold of Israel, and on the other hand, that she had made Yah her God.  This 
is most likely the case with אוריה, )uri-YH the Hittite.  He has made Yah his 
god,  having married Bath-Sheva, and has sworn allegiance to David.  Both of 
these names suggest conversion to Yahweh and assimilation into the Hebrew 
nation.
