Griffin or Elijah

I'm due my second ds on Christmas Day (great planning) and so far the two top names on our list are Griffin/Finn for short and Elijah/Eli for short.

Which would you go for? We already have an Oliver and I love his name but hate that it's so popular. Any other name recommendations?

I love Elijah, such a gorgeous name. Not too keen on Griffin though.

PandorasXbox · 04/09/2017 12:35

I love Elijah/Eli and it goes nice with Oliver imo.

TheNaze73 · 04/09/2017 12:35

Elijah. Not keen on Griffin

Elijah

Elijah. I have an Elijah and he is a cheeky 2 1/2 year old. He refers to himself as Lijey... we weren't sure how we were going to shorten it. Lijey loves puddles, dinosaurs and singing and dancing.

Elijah definitely

TwoDrifters · 04/09/2017 12:44

Ollie and Eli have a nice sound Smile

Don't like Griffin, though Finn is okay.

Elijah is a lovely name.

AmysTiara · 04/09/2017 12:45

Definitely Elijah. I don't like Griffin at all sorry.

BlueberryPuffin · 04/09/2017 13:20

I much prefer Elijah. Nice name.

Not sure about Oli and Eli though.

Elijah

PsychoPumpkin · 04/09/2017 14:47

Yeah, not Griffin! Elijah is really nice & goes well with your first son's name.

TurquoiseOwI · 04/09/2017 15:54

Griffin - never been keen on Elijah!

Liadain · 04/09/2017 20:06

Definitely Elijah. Griffin isn't great imo.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 04/09/2017 20:21

Elijah, for sure.

stellarfox · 04/09/2017 21:30

Elijah also. Griffin just makes me think of the mythological animal

Runningyogabooze · 04/09/2017 21:31

Neither I'm afraid
