In a new interview with Essence, actress Tichina Arnold, 36, says that her 3-year-old daughter Alijah is showing all the early signs of having a future in entertainment.

Alijah for a girl? I admit I used to like Elijah on a girl it's GP for me. I recent;y found two girl Elijahs in BA's.

I don´t know her, but name their daughter Alijah is horrible. It is odd sound :-((

It actually took me a minute to realise, when I was reading the article, that it was supposed to be Elijah! I thought it was pronounced like AH-LEE-jah. I have no idea who Tichina Arnold is, so I thought maybe she was an Ali fan or relative or something! Anyway, getting away from my embarassing moment there, I think Alijah is horrible with that spelling and I don't like the name for a girl. Elijah is such a strong masculine name to me.

I kind of like it. It's ok - still prefer it on a boy. By the way, her full name is Alijah Kai.

oh I like it [m]

I love Kai for a girl. I still do like Elijah on a girl but I prefer it on a boy much more. Elijah Kai would have been cute.

I can't talk too much I love Jonah, Jude, Michael and Elliott on girls...

Is it a feminine of Elijah or a variation of Aaliyah? I thought Aaliyah-type pronunciation, myself, when I read it.

I guess that's possible but it's a little close for comfort. I've met 2 little boys named Alijah, pronounced like Elijah.
