I, too, am in eastern PA. I know more Elijahs/Alijahs than I know what to do with! It seems like they’re everywhere! I don’t know a ton of kids, but here are a few I come across:

There are very few rare or intersting names. In my brother’s yearbook, there were mainly Ethans, Codys, and [name]Trever[/name]'s and such. The only unusual one is a [name]Tarryn[/name]. At least I think that’s how you spell it…
