I like how this name looks, but not how it sounds. I think it sounds best pronounced Ee-LIE-jah.

That name is so stupid.

I don't think saying "This name is so stupid" is useful to other visitors. It's just callous and ignorant. I love this name, by the way, and think it's strong, heroic and handsome.

My nephew's name is Elijah. I have to be honest that I never liked this name. It sounds so old fashioned. Of course I am growing to like it because he is my nephew. I would never use the name for my son.

I like this name a lot, and the nickname Eli is really sexy.

-- alliyah1  2/19/2006

I love this name. I love the spelling and I love how it sounds. Plus it has the great nickname Eli.

I just love this name. Masculine, rolls smoothly off the tongue, and it's a name you can grow up with.

I like the name, but I'm not sure if I would ever use it. It seems too feminine to me. It reminds of "Eliza".

I love this name. It is so handsome. I would definitely use it. I like Elijah William/William Elijah.

I personally think it sounds better pronounced EL-ee-yuh, but ee-LY-zha sounds good too.

I pronounce this name eh-LYE-juh, not eh-LYE-zha. The latter sounds too much like Eliza.

-- Elly747  2/18/2007

Ee-LIE-zha is the original Hebrew pronunciation. Ee-LIE-juh is an Anglicized pronunciation and does make the name sound more masculine. You aren't "required" to pronounce it the Hebrew way. I also don't think it sounds outdated or old fashioned. Actually, it sounds like a modern name to me.

Why contribute false information?! What you had written is inverted. The original Hebrew pronunciation is Ee-LIE-juh and Ee-LIE-zha is the Anglicized one.

I love the name Elijah! I don't really like the name Eli, but it's okay.

-- melinda1  3/28/2007

I LOVE this name! To me, it sounds very masculine, and strong, as well as caring and considerate. And Elijah Wood makes it all the better.

I don't really like the name Elijah, although according to my poll a lot of people do.

My nephew's name is Elijah. I also have two good childhood friends who named their firstborn sons this. I think the name is fantastic, wholesome and strong. I also like the nickname Eli.

-- goreab  6/26/2007

I love the sound of this name. This is the middle name of my husband Jacob Elijah. I think it sounds quite nice. I will possibly use this as a middle name for a future son.

When I hear this name I think of the loud mouthed, ugly hobbit Elijah Wood. He messed up the name royaly.

This name along with Isaiah, are my favorite names for boys. I love the meaning of this name as well as how it looks.

-- Anonymous User  10/25/2007

Pronounced "E-li:yah".

-- Karcoolka  2/11/2008

I have never like the sound of this name. It just doesn't sound pleasant. Plus, it makes me think of Elijah Wood, and I do NOT like that guy. I won't get into that rant, but it's not because of his roles, as I've never watched a movie with him in it.

-- slight night shiver  5/22/2008

Pronunciation ee-lie-ran.

Elijah Patricius Hewson. What a name! Poor kid. He's Bono's son!

-- cheeseface  6/17/2008

I personally really like the name Elijah, I like the meaning of the name. Elijah is a strong and powerful name, Elijah also means the Lord is my God.

-- Jbutts  8/29/2008

This name is so nauseatingly trendy. I have a hard time taking an adult Elijah seriously because of its rabid overuse. The meaning may be nice, but face it, a lot of people are in love with it.
