Help[Opinions] Ilai
Today I saw an interesting name: Ilai. It is mentioned in the bible (1 chr. 11:29). The Hebrew pronunciation is: ee-lah-ee and it means 'elevated'. I am really starting to like the name. What do you think?

Hmm, it seems like it should be attractive in theory, but something about it rubs me the wrong way. First, I can see it being butchered in pronunciation. I myself first thought it was something like "ill-eye".
I like Eli better. More straightforward, and similar meaning. And if you say "ee-lah-ee" really fast, it sort of becomes Eli anyways....
