Well I nearly have settled on a dd name but stuck between these two for a ds. Which would you pick and why? I already have a ds called Eli.

Love them both but Ezra and Eli feel a bit matchy matchy to me.

I love both of these names and they're both on our short list (38+ wks). However, since you already have an Eli then I think Cassius is the best choice if it's another boy. Keeps a nice differentiation between all your children's names and no one shares the same initials.

Good luck! (When are you due?)

I don't like either but Cassius if you must because of the Muhammed Ali connection.

Love both! We already have an Arlo but if we were to have another boy then Ezra, Eli and Cassius would all be on my shortlist.

Id probably go with cassius to go with Eli.

Love both those names,as you have an eli I would go with Cassius.

Grin that is really really weird lockets....but in a good way...great minds think alike!! Wink though I am really jealous that you have both a Saskia and a Cassius, very cool names, do they like their names?

Hello

I like Cassius, I guess it will often be shortened to Cass, which sounds nice too.
It's a strong name, if that makes sense...I am probably swayed by thinking of Cassius Clay! Ezra...I am not so sure about. I like the name Eli though....I too am looking for a boys name....
