Elias?

Could be a fun thread, answer and then add your own name for others to associate!

Farmers. No idea why though.

The Dingles in Emmerdale! One of them is called Eli!

Nothing much. Perhaps Elephants a bit.

I was going to say Platoon as well Although Elias was the saintly captain who got shot by crazy Barnes (Tom Berenger).

Elias is a great name though. I would definitely force encourage DH to consider it for another boy :)

Wasn't Elias the nutty character, played by Willem Defoe in Platoon?

I friend of mine married into the name, and was pronounced Ell-eye-us. So I think of it as a surname tbh.

YunoYurbubson · 06/10/2010 05:05

How is it pronounced?

Elly-ass?
El-EYE-us?
Eel-y-us?

Quite like it but would need conformation on how to pronounce.

Parents a bit hippie, but grounded and well read, interested in their child's individuality as opposed to sticking a label on him that says 'I fit in'. (btw, I like the name)

How about Dinah?

Oh also would really like opinions on Elias - DP and I are loving it more and more every day.
