Help[Opinions] Elijah
What do you think of Elijah?
As I've mentioned before, my hubby and I had pretty much decided to name our first son Elliot Merrick. Elliot is my husband's first name. He doesn't want a "junior", but we both just really like the name Elliot. Then once he really started thinking about it, my husband decided that he doesn't want two Elliots in the house and that he'd rather give our son a different name.
So now we're thinking of Elijah, which is what Elliot is derived from. Is it too trendy? Too biblical? Does it sound okay with mn Merrick?
Thanks for your help!

Love it! Great combo too. Fits just right. ;)

I love Elijah (although I am biased, as it is my nephews name). I also do not find it to be trendy or popular, even being in a christian community (where you tend to find more biblically based names). Of course, it could depend on where you live too.

I don't like the name Elijah.

I really like Elijah. It is getting trendier, but at the same token, it's sort of lost its Biblical feeling.

I like it a lot it has always been in my list of faves... and I think it sounds good with Merrick

Elijah is lovely, it is getting a bit popular but it's so cute! I really like Elliot better and think that it goes better with Merrick but if you don't want two Elliots how about calling your son Eli, or what about using something like Elias, Ellis, Ellison or Elisha?
Elias Merrick or Ellis Merrick would be so cute! Elijah Merrick sounds great too! :)

That's in my top three.
I adore this name. :D What more can I say? I hate it when "my" names get popular, and though Elijah is rising, I probably would still use it. It's perfect.
Elijah Merrick? It's good, I like it. Although Elijah has a softer feel, and Merrick has such a quick sound to it... Do I make sense? I often don't. Anyway the different sounds seem to contradict each other a bit. But it's still good.
You're welcome! :)
