I know not everyone will like the names but I'm more Oren interested in the sound of the names all together

Ellijah Ezekiel Brown.

What do you think?

Ezekiel is my DH's late gfather's name but we aren't sure what would go with it if we had that as the first name and a different middle name. My dad is called matthew but I don't think that goes

Thank you x

I adore Ezekiel but dh wasn't sure, we went for Elias nn Eli. I love it and it's now perfectly him, but I'd secretly have preferred Ezekiel!

I like Elijah Matthew more too.

Elijah Ezekiel is way too "obviously Biblical" for my tastes.

SuperBeagle · 09/02/2017 23:22

Elias is lovely. Ellis is great too. All similar sort of names.

NarkyMcDinkyChops · 09/02/2017 23:23

Elijah is fine but don't stick an extra l in it.

Buntysoven · 10/02/2017 00:40

I love the entire name. Just rolls off the tongue so beautifully

Jooni · 10/02/2017 02:15

Love Ezekiel/Zeke! Not keen on Elijah myself, I prefer Elias.

FartnissEverbeans · 10/02/2017 06:59

Yes it's nice, but Elijah should have one L or else it looks like it should be pronounced elly-jah.

Sapphireshadow · 10/02/2017 07:38

I like Elijah, but Ezekiel Matthew is lovely (nn Zeke).

GinevraPotter · 10/02/2017 13:03

I prefer Ezekiel Matthew. It's nice that they are both family names as well.

Singingforsanity · 10/02/2017 13:53

I love Elijah and Ezekiel, both are on my DC2 lists. I think they're absolutely great together and either would be great with Matthew too. You can't go wrong! But I'm with pps, I'd put only one L in Elijah.

BoboBunnyH0p · 10/02/2017 14:47

I love the name Ezekiel but it was vetoed by my DH.

mistermagpie · 10/02/2017 14:49

My cat is called Ezekiel (we call him Zeke mainly), I love the name! It's so unusual to hear it, I think you should go with that.

Jenniferb21 · 10/02/2017 15:35

Thanks all Smile DH has just said he's unsure the names go with our other DS's name (he's 10 months) his name is Rio Antoine Brown. I think it's either Elijah Ezekiel Brown or Ezekiel Matthew Brown.

(Antonine is also a family name we just loved Rio) also it was a typo when I spelt Elijah with 2 l's lol sorry to confuse!

I think those two options are both lovely, but I slightly prefer Ezekiel Matthew Brown. It flows better and sounds a bit stronger I think. I do love Elijah too though. Can't go wrong! Smile

LiviaBC · 10/02/2017 15:47

Elijah is a wonderful name.

Mol1628 · 10/02/2017 15:51

I know a young Ezekiel, shortened to Zeke. Really nice name

BridgetDarcy · 26/02/2017 08:23

Love Elijah. Less keen on Ezekiel.

SquedgieBeckenheim · 26/02/2017 08:28

I prefer Ezekiel Matthew.
Elijah seems to be very very popular these days!

mum2be2boys · 27/02/2017 16:07

Another vote for Ezekiel Matthew, I think it's a lovely name.
Rio and Ezekiel go nicely together too, as do Rio and Zeke if you chose to use that nickname.

I've also heard the nickname Keil used, but I'm still undecided about it!

inkybunny · 27/02/2017 18:14

I really like Ezekiel! Rio and Zeke sound fantastic together.

mrscrocopop · 27/02/2017 18:23

Elijah Ezekiel is lovely x
