My niece's name was going to be
Elijah if she had been a boy, so it's grown on me because of that.
It's gotten fairly popular and slightly trendy, but not as much as some names.
I don't really look at a name and think of it as a biblical name for some reason. But I don't think it's too hippy either.
Nice name, may gain ground in popularity though.
