A French former tennisman and singer (Yannick Noah) has a daughter named this. So WDYT of Elyjah for a girl? Which spelling do you prefer Elijah or Elyjah ?

His other children are Joakim (b), Yelena (g), Jenaye (g) and Joalukas (b).

Oh, lord, NO! Elijah is a wonderful name...for a BOY and when spelled right.

Yelena is gorgeous, and Joakim is okay. He sure went downhill from there, though....

No, no, no!

I do like Elijah and Yelena, on their appropriate genders. I've never cared for Joakim or its variants though.

Elyjah for a girl? No.
Elijah is great, for a boy!

I also like Yannick, Noah, Joakim, and Yelena. ;-)

I prefer Elijah, and only for a boy.

I also like Yannick, Joakim, and Yelena (prefer Elena).

So many people are putting a random 'y' in names now... I don't like that at all. I think Elijah is best the way it is. It's a good name, but for a boy only. It's too masculine for a girl, I think.

The other names are too much for me, except Yelena.

I personally like Elijah for a boy only, and spelled ELIJAH.

I like Elijah better then Elyjah. But for a girl? I don't know. I do like Joakim, Yelena and Jenaye a lot! I don't really like Joalukas. It's kind of surprising that he didn't pick a name starting with a J or Y for Elyjah as well.
