What about Elian?

Elias

Elias or Ellis.
I think it totally depends on which one goes best with the surname.

Thanks for all the comments and suggestions
Very good point about surname!

Ellis, because of the pronunciation issues with the others (I would pronounce Elias as Ell-ee-as but it could also be Ell-eye-as).

I like Ellis best.

I would pronounce Elias as El-eye-as, I like it said like that, and it wouldn’t occur to me to pronounce it differently. If it is El-ee-as then I don’t like it at all!

I like Elias from your list. What about Eli?

Tiramisu1 · 03/04/2019 10:57

Eli looks like a girls name, short for Elinor.

starkid · 03/04/2019 16:51

I love the nickname Eli!
Elias from that list, but also love Elijah and Elliott

Ellis

I have a friend whose DS is called Elias and they’re forever encountering pronunciation issues. However, once people are told the correct way they normally get it right thereafter.

It’s not on your list but I quite like Elijah.

Fightthebear · 03/04/2019 16:58

Ellis or Elias (which I’d pronounce
“El-eye-as”)

TheVanguardSix · 03/04/2019 16:59

Elliot

Tiramisu1 · 03/04/2019 17:42

I'd pronounce Eliott and Elias as El-ee ot and El-ee-as.
