Do these names work together with Elijah?

Does the name Autumn work with Elijah? Is it too many vowels? I'm possibly reading too much in to it.

Our other ideas are India or Sienna. I also like the name Holly.

We can't think of any other girls names.
Any suggestions/ideas would be welcomed x

They do match, they're both a bit hipster. Elijah is a biblical name but it's hipster-Biblical, like Esther.

Having said that, names don't need to match, it's fine.

I totally agree with memaymamo 100%

Hipster? I don't find either of them hipster.

Elijah is very religious to me.

But I don't think names need to match! You're raising two individuals, not a matching pair.

I think Elijah and autumn go great together. While Elijah is a classic name, it is also currently quite trendy so sounds really well with girls names that are contemporary or classic. Sound fab together.

India.

Have you made a decision @Cariaprl

I vote Autumn or Holly. Both would work fine with sibling name. I actually wouldn’t give other people’s siblings name a second thought about whether they “match” or not. I don’t understand? Would you always dress siblings the same? They’re different people!

Holly is bland.
I agree Autumn and Elijah don’t ‘match.’
I love what a PP suggested - Elijah and Talitha. Gorgeous name.

I don’t think they need to match.

I actually think they do match quite well.
Although Elijah is biblical it doesn't have the same feel to me as Samuel, Thomas, Josiah, Joshua...
I think of it like Ezra or Amos or Seth - trendy without being tacky.
I think Autumn fits well with it.
Sienna and India don't fit as well to me because they aren't as fresh feeling.

Why on earth do they need to match????
