Elijah or Elisha?
Which do you prefer, Elijah or Elisha, for a boy? Would you use either in real life?I like Peter Elisha a lot, and Elijah Thomas, though I find Elisha’s freshness more likable.

Very handsome series!

I prefer the name Elijah. It’s more commonplace, and people don’t immediately think of the biblical character. Peter Elijah would be a very handsome combination, imo.

Elijah. I've liked it since last year, I find it sounds handsome. Elisha just looks awkward to me.

Elisha. I probably wouldn’t use either in real life, not because I dislike them, but just because I like other names more. Elisha is kind of unique though, an I agree with you that it seems fresh.

I wouldn't use either. They are equally bleak, remote and religious.

I prefer Elijah, but they’re both nice.I wouldn’t personally use either, a bit too religious for me and I prefer Elliott and Elias, in that order, over Elijah / Elisha.

Also, before anyone feels the need to explain to me that they are two different names and are pronounced differently, I already know.
