For a girl: Mary or Miriam?

For a boy: Isaiah, Elijah, Elias, or Abraham?

Mary and Isiah.

I've taught a few of each and Miriams tend to be very quiet- wouldn't say boo to a goose. Elijahs tend to be quite high-profile behaviourally. I've been put off both names as a result. I like Marian.

Love Elijah but I'm worried by its recent popularity 🤔

I think Mary is a lovely name - definitely Mary

Of your list I would go with Elias
