Baby boy due tomorrow - brother for Noah. After 9 months of wrangling (which I suspect aren't over), we have a shortlist of sorts : Sol, Elliot, Tibor, Eli.

Thoughts?! Is Eli common in the UK? (I'm British but moved away in 97). Does everyone know how to pronounce it or would it cause problems?

I like them all but I think Sol is the nicest imo.

Ooh - a vote for Tibor, interesting! My Mum & Dad would probably have a heart attack. Noah was hard enough for them, despite being about #7 on name lists all around the Western world!

And thanks for your feedback! Glad Eli wouldn't be confusing for people back home :-)

I like Tibor - it's hungarian and Tibor Kalman is a hero of mine - but I can see that it just sounds too novelty for a lot of people. Elliot is my favourite, dh not so sure. So it'll probably be Sol or Eli...

Like Elliot and Eli, Sol is OK but not keen on Tibor

Good luck

Love Sol and Eli (I would say it Eel - eye)
Dont like Tibor at all and Elliot is ok/nice

We have an Elijah, shortened to Eli. The french pronounce it Elee, the english Ely.
