To me Elijah is not hippy at all, a bit trendy and very Biblical. I like it, but prefer Eliyahu (eh-lee-yah-oo). :)

ClaireI have a great, great, great grandfather named Elihu. I've always been pronouncing it ee-LIE-hoo. Is it actually pronounced eh-LEE-hoo, then? Or maybe EH-lee-hoo?

eh-LEE-hoo is my best guess, I've never heard this one stressed :)
