I know not everyone will like the names but I'm more Oren interested in the sound of the names all together

Ellijah Ezekiel Brown.

What do you think?

Ezekiel is my DH's late gfather's name but we aren't sure what would go with it if we had that as the first name and a different middle name. My dad is called matthew but I don't think that goes

Thank you x

I don't like it but as the parent what you think is what counts. He'll rarely be called his full name anyway.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 09/02/2017 21:08

Not to my personal taste, but. That's neither here nor there, and The name seems sentimental to you.

justdontevenfuckingstart · 09/02/2017 21:08

It's lovely, middle names are rarely used anyway.

amysmummy12345 · 09/02/2017 21:10

A fabulous biblical name 😊

CactusFred · 09/02/2017 21:10

I prefer the name of your typo.

Oren.

EssentialHummus · 09/02/2017 21:11

I like it but prefer the Elijah spelling.

Jenniferb21 · 09/02/2017 21:12

Sooo ellijah or Ezekiel is more my dilemma.

I know not everyone would like the name Ezekiel it is unique. My DS will be mixed race so I want to choose a name that isn't 'andy' if that makes sense.

I adore Ezekiel and would have shortened to Zeke but DH said no :(

reuset · 09/02/2017 21:17

I know a young Ezekiel, it sounds fine to me. Zeke or Kiel he's known as.

Jenniferb21 · 09/02/2017 21:19

Ooh I love Zeke!! How it'll be shortened hadn't entered my mind I think I'm decided now. Now to persuade DH!!

Btw there is "King Ezekiel" in the new Walking Dead episodes, so there may be more of them popping up than you'd expect!!

Purplebluebird · 09/02/2017 21:20

I like it!

KlingybunFistelvase · 09/02/2017 21:28

Love it!

MommaGee · 09/02/2017 22:02

Haha well I wanted Zeke .ore than Ezekiel. Also like Elijah and Malachi and have another unusual name for DS so I def like the rare ones

pieceofpurplesky · 09/02/2017 22:04

I love it. Sounds like a drummer in a rock band!

MollyHuaCha · 09/02/2017 22:06

The name flows nicely.

Waterfeature · 09/02/2017 22:11

Nice. Only one L in Elijah though.

PointlessUsername · 09/02/2017 22:15

Ezekiel is really nice.

Joinourclub · 09/02/2017 22:18

I love both Elijah and Ezekiel. Ice met lots of Elijahs but no Ezekiels.

Ordinarily · 09/02/2017 22:18

Great names and go well together

MikeUniformMike · 09/02/2017 22:23

Ezekiel. Can be abbreviated to Zeke. That it is a family name is a big plus and it is probably less unusual than you think.

I'd prefer Elijah Matthew

Bringbacksummer · 09/02/2017 22:54

I like it. I'm not a huge fan of the middle name but it does flow nicely :)

Bringbacksummer · 09/02/2017 22:54

Completely agree with sophronia above.
