I thought I was the only person to look at the obits.

Alojzija is intriguing. How do you pronounce it? Is it considered an "old lady" name? Is it ripe for a comeback?

These are things I want to know. :-)

Ilija is wonderful. It's so much fun to say out loud.

Alojzija is definitely an old lady name here (as are Alojzije and Alojz) and there's no hope of a comeback any time soon. I've never met an Alojzija in real life of any age.
It's pronounced 'ahl-oy-zee-yah'.
