My name is Elisha. I am a female and it's pronounced by my mother, "ee li Sha". It's not ghetto, geesh get over it people.
In 2018, 2 is the most common age for an American (U.S.) Elisha who is registered male with the Social Security Administration. It is the 2, 287th most common male first name for living U.S. citizens.
All these people using the name for girls is a clear reflection of how sheltered and uncultured many people in the US are. They also don't understand cultural appropriation either, otherwise they wouldn't be telling people to "get over it." Sad, really.
The name Elisha was given to 300 boys born in the US in 2016.

The name Elisha was given to 120 girls born in the US in 2015.
My 5-year-old young daughter is named Elisha (pronounced "el-LEE-sha"), and everyone loves it. My preferred nickname for her is the beautiful "El" / "Elle"; my husband calls her "Elf"; and she can choose "Ellie" (although I'm not a fan of that nickname). It's a nice change from the far more popular E-names "Emily" and "Emma" -- we already know at least three girls with each of those versions.Everyone who sees the name (who isn't a Biblical scholar) assumes that it's a girl's name.There is the occasional confusion with "Alicia", but it's survivable.
Elisha is really name for a boy!
