Elias/eli just lovely. On my list. Didn't really know Alias was a name, but there you go. As to Mason - I like it BUT wouldn't use it as it's a VERY popular name where I live and the Welsh accent doesn't really do it justice.

Maximillian is my son's name but we all just call him Max which was the idea - I just wanted him to have a proper name so we could all piss ourselves when he got married!

DH did mention that we should change it after Kerry & Chav man have called their son it but hey we got there first!

Honestly, Alias isn't a name, Really truely. Elias is - but alias is a word meaning "otherwise known as - they use it to describe the false names criminals use. "The defendant, Jonh Smith used several aliases over the past 3 years......"

Mason is cool, there are quite a few different connotations people may think of, but that's the same with most names.

If you want to call your child Alias, go ahead, he is your child.
But expect him to hate you for all the ribbing he'll get at school.
Personally I think it's a terrible idea.

Go for Mason then! I don't think it's that unusual or extraordinary.

Bloke from Platoon was Elias, I'm afraid. I like that but not Alias. Would just pick Zed over Zebedee.

Consider Titus if you change your mind about Mason, I reckon it's due a resurgence

Surprised to hear about all the snot-nosed Dominics; I went to school with this Dominic who was cute and sweet-natured, although rather accident-prone. As you can see, he's now grown into quite a handsome fellow!

Maybe "Elias"?? (Alias means "known as")

Other unusual boy names:
Ashlyn (Ash),
Thane (cutie I went to school with)
Dane
Oliver (ok, not unusual, but sounds like OP's taste)
Rigel (after the star)
Zachary, Zephyr

If you want unusual why not go straight for River or Phoenix, names like that.
