Love it. I know an Elijah Jude which I think is beautiful! Siblings are Gabriel and Noah so very biblical

I love it. I'd have used it if I dared.

I love it.

Esau A's is a lesser used alternative. It derives from Isaiah I believe.

Love it.

Excellent name, I love it. It was on my list but then I had 3 consecutive girls.
I think it may have become more popular after the LOTR films with Elijah Wood as Frodo

It’s become amazingly popular. I’d have to discount on those grounds alone, tbh. It’s almost as ubiquitous as Archie or Noah once were.

Sorry just noticed that autocorrect got me!

Esaias** not Esau!!!

I see it as a strongly and consciously (meant by namer) religious name. However I think I may be a little out of touch re this take and think this is changing (a la Noah etc). I’m not sure I’m fond of it anyway but so what ?!
Congrats op.

I think it's just a bit of a mouthful to say - if you're always going to call him Eli then just name him Eli?

I'm not keen, it sounds so feminine and soft.
