HelpRe: Elijah
in reply to a message by Elinor
Wow, it's amazing...you can always tell exactly what a post is going to be about if Kelly R. has replied to it.
I'm kind of indifferent to Elijah on either gender, really. I thought it was a bit girly when I first heard it, and I think on the whole it goes in my 'prefer it on a boy, but sounds too girly to use on a real live boy' (hehe, like Pinnochio!) list, along with Julian, Tristan, etc.
So, to summarise my rambling, I think it could work on a girl, I think people still might expect it to be used on a boy regardless of popularity because most people know who Elijah Wood is, and, for some people at least, is the only association they have with the name. And Elijah Laurel is pretty!

You're right, I tend to dread those posts cos I know I'll be getting a hard time lol. Unless it's a "girls' name" (unisex, nearly always) on a boy, in which case I'm getting massive praise hehehe. A touch unfair but I'm thickskinned! Hehehe. Thanks muchly for the feedback!
