[Opinions] Keziah and Keisha
I like both Keziah and Keisha.
How do you pronounce Keziah? I always said KEZ-ee-ah, but on this site it's keh-ZIE-ah.
Do you know whether Keisha comes from Keziah? (they don't sound very similar)
Or something about Keisha's etymology? (also see my thread on the name facts board).

I have never thought of Keziah pronounced any way but Ke-ZIE-ah. Interesting.
To me, it feels like the name of the girl who runs a church coffee-shop. Very similar vein to Keturah for me.
Keisha is so much more modern. I knew several growing up. It's a very pretty sound and very simple. It's nothing I would ever choose myself, but I adore two-syllable names, so I still like it.
A few websites on Google claim that Keisha is a variant of Keshia, which is a variant of Keziah. This seems very natural to me, so I tend to believe it. The pronunciation listed for Keshia is both Ke-SHY-ah and Kesh-ee-uh.
