Help[Facts] Re: Male names for Female
in reply to a message by Matthew 05
Male biblical names that end in -ah or -a are most commonly used for girls. Jonah, Jeremiah, Elijah, Elisha, and Micah are examples.

That really isn't true for Jeremiah, which is extremly uncommon as a girls' name in the United States. There were only 7 on the 2022 Social Security list, few enough that they really could all be boys whose sex code was entered wrongly.
Elisha is also really a different name for girls than boys. For girls it is normally pronounced with the middle syllable as "Lee" and is a spelling variation of Alicia, Elicia, Alisha, etc. For boys it is the Biblical name with the middle syllable normally pronounced as "Lie".
