Re: Elias and Elijah
I hate them both. I just think the sound is so incredibly unattractive. Elias is also one of the most overused names ever where I live, I just can't stand it anymore. Elias is a bit better than Elijah, in my opinion. Elijah does go better with Levi, though.

no kiddingElias is very common where you are? You're in Germany, right? Huh. I wouldn't have expected that. The popularity chart for Elias doesn't show its ranking in Germany.

On the chart I'm looking at right now it's on place 15 for 2008. I would have guessed it much higher, though, because I see it all the time on BAs. German charts don't seem to be in BTN at all.http://www.beliebte-vornamen.de/2008

NeatI like how all the different spellings of a name are grouped together as one entry. The American SSA listing isn't like that, which distorts the data, imo.
