Posted last week about Rudy.. the other name under consideration for baby #4 due in 3 weeks is Eli (eelye) so a shortened version of Elias I guess. Opinions appreciated..

I read that as ' what do you think about Elf' and then thought, well nothing would surprise me on the name front these days .

I know an Eli, short for Elijah- although he is never called his full name, I like them both

My 7 year old is called Eli (Elijah).
I love it - obviously!
I like Elias too.

I have a 12 week old little Elijah who we call Eli, and although I had some second thoughts at the end of my preg about it, am bloody glad I chose it as still think it's a fab name - go for it!

Really like Elijah/Eli.

Or could be short for Elijah, which is the anglicisation of Eliahu

My grandfather's name. In his case short for Eliahu and pronounced ellie (but abroad so no confusion re girl name). Like the other pronunciation as well
