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.

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.
