I absolutely love this name and its diminutive Ilyusha. Granted, as a native English speaker, it does sound somewhat feminine to me but I also don't see why that has to be a problem. And as a native speaker, my opinion on its feminity doesn't really matter to Russian speakers. It's a simple yet gorgeous name and feels very elegant to me.

How immature are you that you judge names from other cultures by the standard of your own, and say "Oh this name is totally feminine"? Even when some of you have admitted that names like Joshua aren't feminine despite also ending in -a. Not everyone in the world has English as a first language, or even speaks English, so get over yourself.

So pretty. It's totally not feminine. Nobody considers names such as Joshua feminine so don't consider this feminine either. It's a pretty name that I'm surprised hasn't caught on over here yet.

I think this name is lovely, and it seems to be particularly agender in my opinion. It has a very elegant, light sound much like many other forms of Elijah.

I don't see this name as remotely masculine and it's not because it ends with an 'a.' I'm more than fine with joshua, ezra and luca and misha being male names.
I greatly see Ilya as feminine. I prefer it for a female.
