DH and I have been desperately trying to think of a name for DS due in a few weeks. We've narrowed it down to Elias (or Eli for short) and Luca but can't decide at all! What are people's thoughts?

I think Elias is a lovely name!

(not so keen on Luca, sorry)

Mottled · 02/05/2016 21:33

Also really like Elias

Elias

I like both but prefer Luca I think. Both great names though!

pratiaalba · 03/05/2016 09:12

Both lovely!
What about Lucas to combine the two?

Elias

BoboBunnyH0p · 03/05/2016 10:38

I like both but like Elias a little bit more, this is because I prefer Lucien to Luca.

Elias

I really don't like Luca, sorry.

Elias

I must be in the minority, not sure about Elias. I like the shortening Eli but for Elijah. To me it sounds a bit like 'he lies'. Maybe I'm pronouncing it wrong. I prefer Luca but think Luke is a stronger name for a boy. I would decide when you see him!

julfin · 03/05/2016 20:30

I like both

Luca
