Elias, Elliott or Elijah?

[Rnm62]

Got our 20 week scan in a couple of weeks and we’ve been discussing possible boy and girl names. We’ve already decided on the name if it’s a girl, but really struggling with boy names! We already have a son called Lucas. What’s everyone’s thoughts on Elias, Elliott or Elijah? Maybe Eli for short?
Thank you!

DP and I were just talking about these names this morning and have added them to our list! We’re thinking Eli as a nickname (though it could be a name in its full right), possibly with Elias or Elijah as the full version. I think I prefer Elias, DP prefers Elijah. Not so keen on Elliot. Think Elias a bit less popular if that bothers you? Either way great names!

I love Elijah that wins for me hands down

I'd go for Elias.

Elias
That was going to be my son's name until he came out a she.

Elijah for sure.

Elias is a fab name.
Also like Elliott/Eliott (prefer one L) and had this high on my list but i always link Elliott with ET and the how many L’s and T’s is a bit awkward.
Elijah is a bit “too” biblical for me.

I prefer Elias to Elijah which I associate with those committed to their religion.
Elliot feels like very different type of name altogether. No strong feelings on it .

Maybe somewhat outing but I have an Elias so I’m going to be biased and say it’s a great name

I actually wanted to name him Elijah but dh’s friend had just named his baby that so we didn’t feel comfortable using it. He’s the only one in his class and I haven’t heard any others being called at the school gates although I think it may be very slowly rising in popularity.

Elias. But I like Elijah too, and Elisha. Not keen on Elliott.

Elias
Elijah

Elliott.

Biased as I have an Elliott, as opposed to PP we named him so because of ET.

But I also like Elias a lot.

Elijah. I like Elias, but two names ending in “as” is a bit much.

I love them all but Elias the most!
There’s also Elian

Elias is great - very popular internationally but seems to have flown under the radar a bit more in the UK. I must admit I prefer the European "Eh-lee-as" pronunciation, but since you'll get "Ee- lye-as" in the UK, Eli makes sense as a nn.While nice enough, Elijah and and Elliott are much more popular and feel a bit trendy to me.

Elias is nice. I also like Elliot.
Elijah is odd alongside Lucas. Elias is the Greek form, I think, so goes much better with Lucas.

Normally I would say Elias, but seeing as you already have a Lucas, it doesn't go together, I would go for Elijah.

Elliot. The other two sound way too biblical for my taste. Personally I'd go for Ellis - lovely Welsh name.

I like all of them and Eli. I like Elliott best though probably wouldn't use Eli for it

I think you all sound a bit daft and Elliot sounds like a middle manager working ina second rate bank

Elliott, the others are too long

My favourite is Elias, but not with Lucas.

I would pick Elijah.

Elias is nice.

I don't like Eli for a boy, I know too many girls called this, short for Eleanor.

I love Elias and Elliott. Had both on my list for my own DS and would definitely have used Elias if we'd ever had a second.

Elliott is my fave from your list. I prefer Ellis to all three if that’s an option.

Lucas and Eli sound great together! Love both Elias and Elijah. ❤️
