HelpRe: Elisha?
in reply to a message by LMS
Elisha is purely male to me, and I find it weird to even think about it on a girl. So I think it works for a guy.
I don't like your other ideas though. I do like Eliane, with this spelling.

I think it definitely could be seen as feminine. Especially by people who aren't really familiar with names like everyone here (and face it, that's most people) or not as familiar with Biblical names because it does look like some female names and, in America at least, most names with "sha" in them are female or seen as feminine. Another good point someone made was today's increasing habit of using boys' names (or altered boys' names) for girls, which is in some cases even lessening the use of some unisex names for boys. :/
on the other hand, Eli, Elias, Elijah, etc. and other previously "uber-Biblical" names is becoming quite popular, so people would get use it. As long as it's pronounced traditionally I think it would work, but I wouldn't use it because of the aforementioned reasons.
