Essie: Because I pushed him.

I certainly don't find it too hippy, it is a bit popular, but I don't see it as being trendy. Yes, it sure is Biblical, but it's a name that isn't un-heard of.

Most of the Elijahs I know are kids of a lower socioeconomic level and/or rednecks. Sad, but true. I like Eli and Elias, though. :b

My niece's name was going to be Elijah if she had been a boy, so it's grown on me because of that.

---

It's gotten fairly popular and slightly trendy, but not as much as some names.

---

I don't really look at a name and think of it as a biblical name for some reason. But I don't think it's too hippy either.

---

Nice name, may gain ground in popularity though.

I've never thought of it as hippy, but it is a bit trendy. It's very biblical too. I like it though. It was once on my Top 3. Not anywhere close now, but still.

I think Elijah is a beautiful name. Although it is becoming a popular name. Elijah Lovejoy is cute. How about Love'Joy or Love-Joy?

I like Elijah, but it's a trendy Biblical name. I'd personally never use it. I much prefer Elias or Eli.

It also really annoys me when people pronounce it "ee-LIE-jah" like actor Elijah Wood does. I had always pronounced it "ee-LIE-zha" - and then the LotR movies came out. I suddenly had hoards of whiny fangirls telling me I pronounced it "so totally wrong." : P

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

great biblical name

i don't thinks it trendy but it is a beautiful name.

I love the name Elijah and I don´t associate it with trendy or hippy. Of course, it is a biblical name but I guess most people don´t think about this first when hearing it.
To me it´s a gorgeous name with a beautiful meaning and you should go on with it.

See the current list of names in my profile. :D

I love that name because it both looks and sounds beautyful. I don't think that the fact that it has become more pupular recently makes it too trendy. And I don't think it's too biblical, but that may depend on how religious you are.

Some people lose their faith because heaven shows them too little – but how many people lose their faith because heaven shows them too much? ~ Thomas Dagget (The Prophecy)

I like it a lot, but it makes me think of Elijah Wood, so I could never use it except possibly as a middle name. *goes off to look for a good first name to use with it*

Actually I've never saw it as hippyish. Trendy, well yes a little. But just in the way that it follows the used-to-be rather obscure biblical boys names trend that names like Noah, Jonah, Jonas, Isaiah, etc... have came out of and became popular in the last few years.

---

On rather on not it's too biblical, I guess that depends on the person using it. For someone who isn't religious at all, maybe it is, then again maybe not. Personally I don't think it is. There is after all Elijah Wood who has brought the name into the mainstream, making it a strong association that could backburn the biblical association.

Oh I love the name Elijah, well it is hippy but i personally like hippy names. I don't think it sounds trendy. Well that was my advise!
