You know how almost every place you've ever been has been named after someone? Like even if the place is named for some common flora or fauna it probably was named for some guy in the bio somewhere? Well, Abijah sounds like the name of a place you would be specifically surprised was ever someone's name. Like, I'm someone-or-other of Abijah and I sell sea-beast leather!
I don't know how the average American would take this as a name, so I don't think it'd be a great idea to name a child this in modern days (no matter how beautiful the name, people can be very mean if it isn't common or something they are used to) but since I'm Jewish and plan on giving my children Hebrew or Yiddish names, I'd definitely use this for either gender.
I have a new nephew with this name as a middle name. I really like it. It's different and fresh with a nice meaning. At first the Hebrew names sound a little 'odd' I think, to modern ears, but they can be really pretty when they are pronounced properly. And as far as nicknames go- who says there has to be a nickname?

No offense to anyone who has this, but it sounds like baby babble.
