Help[Opinions] Re: Elias
in reply to a message by Groovey943
I love Elias. I also think it is easier to say than Elijah.
Though maybe it is pronounced Ee-LIE-as in English? In Swedish and other countries it is pronounced Eh-LEE-us. But even so, I think Elias is easier to pronounce than Elijah, it must be the "J-sound" in the middle that I don't like.

So you got to please yourself."
