babynamesThis past weekend I was in Gettysburg, PA for a memorial statue dedication for George Custer and my Great-Great Grandfather (who saved Custer's life... :) )
And I saw this charmer of a name::
Elishua
Anyone want to take a stab at how that's pronounced, because I didn't hear!
Also, take a guess at what sex the child was. I'll post when there's a few guesses. or at least one.
*Edit* Yep, male. I had no idea it was a biblical/real name. I thought is was a combination of Elijah and Joshua that someone just made up or something...
