I love the name Elijah, but for me it belongs only on a boy. The way I see it, there are soooo many great girls' names out there and not so many great boys' names, so the few great boys' names that exist should not be used for girls. If this trend continues, we could end up with no more actual male names--just girls' names and unisex names. Of course, one female Elijah will not mean the end of the world, but I simply can't encourage it. My advice to anyone who loves the name Elijah is to save it for a son. (And as someone else mentioned, many people will associate this name with Elijah Wood, and this is a wonderful association imo!) Just my two cents. :)
