Elias! It would be shortened to Eli. His big brother is called Ezra. What do you think of the name and also does it go well with his brothers name?

It's fine. I don't love it, but there's nothing wrong with it. I like Eli.

I think Ezra and Elias are a bit matchy.

DramaAlpaca · 12/03/2017 16:46

Not my style of name, but I do think they go well together.

RaeSkywalker · 12/03/2017 16:47

I like it, but I'm not sure about Ezra and Elias together...

Oysterbabe · 12/03/2017 16:51

I think they're too similar.

Ankleswingers · 12/03/2017 16:53

I know a little Elias.

Gorgeous little chap.

I think that Ezra and Elias are way too similar though.

Abetes · 12/03/2017 16:54

I think they are too similar too.

EssentialHummus · 12/03/2017 16:56

Fine and not too similar.

BackforGood · 12/03/2017 17:19

Not my style of name, but, that aside, I think it isn't ideal to have same initial as a sibling.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 12/03/2017 17:42

Too similar, I think.

Sophronia · 12/03/2017 17:47

Fine and not too similar.

ToastVacuum · 12/03/2017 17:53

Very nice and not too similar, they go well together.

Jooni · 12/03/2017 18:44

I like it, and it goes beautifully with Ezra if you don't mind matching initials.

RuthB4 · 13/03/2017 02:42

Really nice and they go together well.

ScarlettFreestone · 13/03/2017 02:51

The name is fine, mail in their teenage years will be a pain in the neck though given that most of it will come to Mr E Sleepless.

CakeRattleandRoll · 13/03/2017 05:56

I like it and I think it is fine with Ezra.

apotheke · 13/03/2017 06:16

I really like Elias. Know a lovely 5 year old one. However I agree that it's not great with Ezra and I dislike matching sibling initials too.

sleeplessinsurrey247 · 13/03/2017 06:21

Thanks for all your comments! I think because my siblings and I all have the same initials I didn't see it as a problem.

People really don't get that much mail mail these days do they? When our babies are older teenagers it'll be even less, I'm sure. I don't think mail is a cause for concern.

Rockaby · 13/03/2017 06:56

There's nothing wrong with it, but I don't like it. I know a gorgeous little Elias though so I could very well change my mind over time!

I prefer Ellis, but I've seen people slate that on here. I also love Elijah, which I think is much nicer if you want to shorten to Eli.

Gummibears · 13/03/2017 08:02

Elias is nice but El or Eli sound feminine imo
