I expressed to my BFF the other day that I love the name Elijah. She was absolutely aghast that I would consider naming my child - as yet unconceived - a name that was equivalent to Jesus when I am agnostic. She compared it to naming my child Mohammed. Personally I see no difference between the name Elijah and John or Jacob or Ezra or any other biblical name.
What do you think, is it appropriate use a historically religious name is you are not a member of said religion?
