Elias, Elijah, or Ezra?

[GlizzyOverdrive]

and your thoughts on each name?

Love Ellias (would get shortened to eli though). Also like elijah. Not too keen on the last one.

Elias! It’s just my favourite out of the three!

Elijah

Elijah = Wood
Ezra = Better Than
Elias... how is it pronounced?

Otherwise, they are all very cool names

Elias

I prefer Ezra, and Eli as a stand alone name over the other two. Or even Ellis or Elliot over Elias (I know neither of these are Biblical so probably not what you're look for, I just find them less fussy in sound).

In my experience (as a teacher), young children can often find Elijah very difficult to pronounce which can be frustrating for a child if some of their peers struggle with their name. Even more frustrating if they themselves struggle to say it.

Definitely Ezra for me!

Elijah! I love it.

Elijah is one of my favourite boys names, so handsome and Eli is a great nickname. I think Elias and Ezra are great too though! You can’t go wrong.

I only like Elias, great name!

Not keen on any of them, sorry.
Elias and Elijah are both a bit long and I'm not keen on the 'lie' bit. They might get shortened to Eli, which I don't like.
I just don't like the look or sound of Ezra and it might get shortened to Ez.

Elliott, Ellis or Enzo are nicer, but not as religious if that's why you are choosing them

I love the name Ezra

I love Elijah. One of my all-time favourites.

No-one ever seems sure how to pronounce Elias! I would say eh-LIE-us but I don’t know if that’s your preferred pronunciation.

They are all nice

Probably Elias as it’s the least used - high chance he’ll end up being called Eli though

Elias. I know an older one and it doesn't get shortened.
Don't like the others.

I don't mind Elias.

I strongly dislike the others.

@ZoyaTheDestroyer , it's El-EYE-us in English, but El-ee-as in most european languages. In some it's EL-yass.

Love them all but in order my choice is
Elias
Ezra
Elijah

Love Ezra ❤️

Thank you @FayCarew!

@ZoyaTheDestroyer , I think it's El-EE-as in Welsh, and that it's quite popular there, as is Elis (like Elis James).

I like Elias best
