Kenaniah or Abijah
In a book I am writing, I would like to name a character either Kenaniah or Abijah because I like the meanings of those names. However both these names are quite unique and have not been used in New Zealand, the country my book is set in. Does that matter? The character would be a young, enthusiastic TV presenter between the ages of 20 and 35 who is also a Historian and teaches History to visitors in a Museum.

In this case, I don't think the country matters. But, because this character is a TV presenter, I'd choose Kenaniah. It can be shortened to Ken or Kenan, both which are both more visually and audibly recognizable, if that makes sense.If it's a matter of taste, I'd choose Abijah.
