Middle name for Eli

[QuestionARhino]

Baby due in 10ish weeks. Girls name picked and love it, boys first name picked but I can't find a single middle name I remotely like but I still want a middle name.

Any suggestions for Eli? Surname begins with W.

We don't like traditional names; unusual names run in the family, but nothing outlandish or that looks made up 😅 don't want to name after ourselves or family members... also really picky so don't be offended if I veto your suggestions I'm still grateful for anyone who takes time to throw options at us! And we are set on the first name, I know it's not to everyone's taste and that's okay

I say I don't like traditional names and I am aware of the origin of Eli though it is unusual to me in that I've never met anyone or any babies called Eli and it's relatively unheard of. We're also not religious in anyway despite it being quite a biblical name. Just heard it once and liked it a lot.

I love the name Eli but just wanted you to know it's not that unusual, I know two and Elijah is also becoming more popular,but it such a lovely name

Is eli for a boy, girl or both?

@BabbaE yeah I've noticed, still very unusual in our area though from what I can tell! I work with paediatric A&E & the maternity ward in our area and yet to see a document for one come past my desk!

@2014newme for a boy, we've got our girl's name chosen.

Eli Solomon
Eli Raphael
Eli Reuben
Eli Caleb
Eli Jonas

@Sugarpiehoneyeye thanks! I like Reuben from your list but unfortunately that was vetoed last night. I like Asher, which again is gaining popularity but not amongst our friends or in our area, but OH vetoed that too. Though I really like Asher so feel tempted to wear him down on that one but I'm not mean and selfish enough to do that. Especially as I chose both girls names it's sometimes hard having an equal partner in things! I can't be my usual mildly controlling self!

Eli Joseph
Eli Jacob
Eli Joshua

I like a J after it!!!

I think Eli needs a longer middle name...

Eli Benjamin
Eli Christopher
Eli Dominic
Eli Jonathan
Eli Nathaniel
Eli Vincent
Eli Sebastian
Eli Gabriel
Eli Jackson
Eli Maxwell
Eli Austin
Eli Jesse
Eli Tristan
Eli Casper
Eli Morgan
Eli Cassius
Eli Archer
Eli Seth
Eli Zachary

Thanks both, all great suggestions but either someone we know and therefore we're automatically steered away from it no matter how hard we try to reason with ourselves. Or a name we've come across and already vetoed. I never knew I was so fussy tbh.

Eli James

Eli Percival
Eli Solomon
Eli Rowan
Eli Benedict

Still nothing! Wtf is wrong with me 😂 I think it's partly because even though I don't know what I'm having, and it's my first, I have this ridiculously strong feeling that it's a girl, and as irrational as it is part of me is thinking I won't even need a boys name anyway 🙄

I know 3 baby Eli (one is Elijah but goes by Eli) and I don't even know that many babies!

Just thought worth mentioning as you said you wanted something unusual. Even if it's not popular in your area at the moment, I would guess it will do soon as I think it's one of those names that is jumping up in popularity. I love it, btw.

Eli Emmanuel
Eli Lorenzo
Eli Jacob
Are the ones I know.

Eli Nathaniel would be my preference but I think you've already vetoed that?!

How about:

Eli Grayson
Eli Laurence
Eli Lucas
Eli Fergus
Eli Felix
Eli Noah
Eli Nicholas
Eli Sebastian
