Re: Loving the meaning but not the name :(

Haha, Amish! That makes sense, but there aren't any (many?) Amish out west. I've never knowingly encountered any, so I wouldn't have thought of it.FWIW the Elijahs and Isaiahs I've encountered weren't named by anyone very devout. The original Elijah (my friend's son born in the 90s) had atheist parents.- mirfak

As a kid I saw kids named things like Isaiah, Elijah and Josiah as uber-Christian as well. As they became mainstream that changed to hipster-esque

Yeah, I can see the current hipster vibe... especially when people go far out of teh box and use Biblical names like Zadoc and Amzi. Though, I do love Amzi. It's weird how some names like Zipporah are hispter chic, but others like Zacharaias are still a little bit country to me.
