Boy name if we like Eliza

26 replies

First baby due very soon but we've only decided on a girl's name so far: Eliza.

Can't settle on a boy's. One of us likes slightly more modern and out there names, the other likes more traditional.

Please help!!

A list of names we like individually:

Wilfred
Caspian
Nicholas
Michal
Freddie
Cyril
Phoenix
Leo
River

Middle name will begin with V and the surname begins with B and has 3 syllables.

Ezra

I was going to say that!

Another one who immediately thought of Ezra!

Ezra

I wouldn't if you are intending to have another and would want to use Eliza for a girl as they are too matchy together.

I wouldn’t use Ezra or Elijah because they’ll be too matchy if you have a girl next

I get the Ezra and Eliza both have the E an Z but they've very different vibes to me.

I could see an Eliza having brothers called Edgar. Leonard, Peter or Victor.

I also immediately thought of Ezra and Elijah. I really like Luca.

Ezra

My first thought

Edward

I agree that Ezra and Eliza are similar enough. For example, there is possibility they would be called Ezwa and Ewiza by friends when little, and R and L are linguistically very similar letters in many languages across globe

Thanks everyone, lots of lovely ideas!

We hope to have 2-3 DC I I'd like to earmark Eliza for any girls we have and Ezra is a bit too matchy for me.

I actually love Robin but wasn't sure whether an adult man would suit it even though it's very cute on a boy. I'll suggest Robert to DP, see what he thinks about it with Robin as a nn.

Love Francis but DP vetoed that very early on, along with Gabriel.

Leonard nn Leo could be an option, but that feels like settling.

Let's see if I can make Robin happen Smile
