Help with a name for baby boy

So I'm 33 weeks pregnant and we are still slightly indecisive on names. We're having a boy. The name we absolutely love is Elijah with a soft 'J' sound, Eli for short. His last name is going to be Morgan, so we need a middle name(s) that would sound good. We are also debating whether to use Michael as one of his middle names, as its the other half's middle name and his father's name etc.

So we were thinking:
Elijah James Michael Morgan

Can anyone please suggest alternatives for middle names and even first names if you have any you really like that are quite similar, we don't want a name that's too common but not too strange either.

I like the name combo, but I'd swap James & Michael round as it's just a bit easier to say - Elijah Michael James Morgan.

Those names are fine but I'd swap James and Michael. The soft J in Elijah makes the hard J in James quite messy (although after a couple of goes it flows okay) and then you've got the alliterative Michael Morgan. Although then it's all a bit of a mouthful.

Maybe just Elijah Michael Morgan, save James for your next one Wink

I really like it as it is.

I like the alliteration of Michael Morgan and Elijah James goes well too.

Elijah Michael James Morgan also nice.
