How popular is the name Elijah where you live??

[Flowermommy]

Baby daddy and myself are having real trouble deciding on a name. I thought we were stuck on Sebastian but hes now decided he doesnt like it anymore

So out of the countless names we've both thought of Elijah is the only one we both agree we could live with (Boys names are hard!!!)

Now I like unusual but not unheard of names, for example I have a daughter named Iris - not unheard of but not all that common either. So id like my sons name to follow that pattern....

So how popular is Elijah where you live??

I don't think there's one Elijah where I live! I love it though

Not very popular over here, as its an american name..I dont really know anyone called Elijah. But my son is going to be called Sebastian

Depends on where you live! I'm in Canada and the name is heard of once in a while...but not super popular! We have the name Elijah on our list as well LOVE the name

I only know one Elijah here and he was born last week!!!! I'm in UK X

It isn't super popular in Ireland, but it isn't unheard of either. An Elijah here would most likely be the only one in his class at school.

It's a gorgeous name, I love it!

Im in the UK and although ive heard of the name I dont actually know any Elijahs. The more im calling bump Elijah the more im loving it, and the nickname Eli is really cute too.

Thanks hun. x

I love the name Elijah but it doesn't really go with our surname

It's not extremely popular but it's in the top 20 favourite names I think.
