[Opinions] Jubal, Jabez, Abiah, or Abijah?

I'm a beginning horror writer and I want to use a pseudonym for lower-level markets. I've decided I want one of the four titular names as the first name in said pseudonym.

For the record, the last name is Trout.

Thanks for your time.

Abijah. It sounds the nicest, kind of like Elijah but cooler. I think people are going to know that it's a pseudonym if you go by any of the others, anyway. At least with Abijah they'll think you're the rebellious, demonic, son of an evangelical Christian family disowned for writing horror novels.

Thanks!

That's the one I was leaning to. And, yes, it's MUCH cooler than Elijah. (And that image wouldn't fit me as I am Christian myself. Hehehe.)
