I heard someone with this name and I thought it was just a biblical name and I felt like I had heard it before, but when I searched it on here it turns out it's not as common as I thought. It's a nice name though, but I wanna hear what you guys have to say about this.
Edit: Pronounced yoo-KAI-uh. Also, there are a couple cities with this name like Ukiah, California.

Ukiah is haiku spelled backwards, and the town Ukiah in California has an annual haiku festival:

Oh, I loved camping in Ukiah. One of my favorite trips! For that reason, I can appreciate the appeal. Especially on an Alaskan Malamute, for some reason.

I think it's ridiculous. It doesn't even sound like a name. Uriah is way better.

The 'kiah' part sounds like the local word for 'servant's room'! Literally, a place for sleeping. But, since it's just another lnfn, I'm happy to ignore it.

The first thing that popped into my head was IKEA with a U, sorry.

It sounds so foreign and unfamiliar to me. Can't say I'm really a fan.
