The name Shammah was mentioned in the Old Testament, though it is not famous in the days of David as his Brother. And on the other hand, what will be the best name for our child if he or she is born? I told my wife that I will be giving our child a name and will try to look at some passages of scripture to find a good name for our child.
It comes to the conclusion that our child is the answer to all our prayers. I couldn't think of any good name, then finally the Bible Dictionary helped me find a good one.

Jehovah-shammah. Heb. translated the Lord is there. In English, the name of the New Jerusalem is mentioned in Ezekiel’s vision.
It was round about eighteen thousand measures: and the name of the city from that day shall be, The Lord is there. - Ezek. 48:35

The Word Jehovah should not be pronounced since it is sacred. So I decided to replace it with the word "EL" that stands for "Eloi" or "Elohim". So, names were supposed to be like El-Shammah. But it seems obvious in Hebrew writing, which makes it more significant to the word Jehovah-Shammah. Then I decided to twist it over that make it more readable in English words. Then it ended that way, Shammah-El or Shammahel.
Before she passed away, I created a Poem dedicated to her so that someday she could read it. Sad to say, she didn't make it that far. So, during our little gathering before her burial, I pronounced the poem to everyone who was there.
God is there
I lost my way and I’m afraid
I stumble for what I’d just made
You left me up and took my fear,
I’m glad my Lord that thou art there.
So unhappy, I’m all alone
Just sit and watch the breaking dawn
You came to me and removed my tears,
Oh, Lord my God, for thou are there.
Forgive me, Lord, forgive thy child,
Don’t leave me here, ‘til eventide.
Guide me, Lord, as I draw thee near,
For I know now, that thou art there.
Then I believe and trust in thee,
For thou leadeth me back thy way.
I'll guide my soul ‘til I am near,
In place, we dwell where God is there.
