Elias or Caleb?

Caleb

Too many El names about

Elias is lovely. With Caleb I can hear twanging banjos.

Caleb sounds the best with Theo. The difference is attractive.

I much prefer Caleb. I love the nick name Cal :)

In my opinion, Elias is about a million times nicer than Caleb.

I prefer Caleb

Defo Caleb. Too many ways to pronounce Elias.

Caleb is lovely and its numbers have plateaued around the number 70-90 mark in charts for the past 15 years or so!!. It's not on a big upswing.

you need to look at the official numbers OP @hiraethx not just someone saying "getting popular"
the dark greener website is your friend as that has graphs using official stats

Elias is nicer.
I wouldn’t go with anything more far out than than. Lots of parents are choosing more and more ‘unique’ names.

Caleb is nicer imo

If you're down to 2 wait until he's here and see which fits best.

With DC2 I was sure I'd call a girl Eleanor. When she was born and DH said 'it's a girl!' I called her Eleanor right from the start. Then I calmed down and looked at her. It wasn't her name. She wasn't an Eleanor.

We decided on our second choice girls name instead as it just fit her so much better.
