Elijah? Like or dislike?

[bytheMoonlight]

And does it matter that we already have an Eva so both children with with names begin with same letter?

[Tortington]

eli is better imo

initials dont matter exept for bank statements when they are 16 - i habe a household with the J's same bank so i open all the statements and often get a shock when we only have £1.34 ....then i realise its my sons bank statement!

I love Elijah and Eli for short. I dont think it matters at all that they will have the same initial. Me, my mum and my sisters are all S's and we never really had any issues.

Elijah is nice, don't think it's too popular. I don't think that the same letter thing matters at all, except as Custardo says for post :)
Eva and Elijah sound fine together. Would you shorten it? Eli and Eva sound a bit similar.

[bytheMoonlight]

Yes Elijah would be Eli

[tribpot]

[bytheMoonlight]

Well everyone seems to like it

[Rhubarbgarden]

Dislike. Sorry.

[sparkle12mar08]

Love it, especially with the softer original pronunciation - less keen on a hard 'juh' sound.

[seaturtle]

Love it.

[toddlerama]

Love it

[pintyblud]

Disliek big time.

[BelligerentGhoul]

I like Elias or Ellis better but Elijah is okay. But I absolutely wouldn't consider having two children whose names begin with the same letter.

Love

[ZENZIZENZIZENZIC]

Really lovely. I think it's fine with Eva too.

[pearlgirl]

Really love it. We used it for ds4 in April - he gets called by both Eli and Elijah.

[randomimposter]

it's lovely
initials don't matter

[bytheMoonlight]

Do you get a good reaction to it pearlgirl?

[Sariah]

I have an Elijah :) He is 17 months old. I also have an Ellen.

I usually call him lije for short.

[jinglesticks]

Very nice. I had considered it if I had a boy, but it is getting very popular now.

[TheUnmentioned]

love it

[Spookberries]

Much prefer Elias.

Elijah is very popular in the US, where I'm from so that's put me off quite a lot.

However, Eli is lovely and Elias is one of our top 2 at the moment. :)

[pearlgirl]

Everybody has been positive about it and we had considered lots of names as we have 4 boys and they all have 3 names each. One or two people have said 'oh that's unusual" but then go on to say they like it. We don't know anyone else who has used it locally.
