Elijah Spencer?

Abbyant · 12/11/2023 17:40

I vote for Elijah Edwin Harris

Swanfeet · 12/11/2023 17:48

Ooh Edwin Spencer Harris sounds lovely in my opinion

CutiePatooties · 12/11/2023 17:51

Edwin Spencer Harris

Edwin Elias Harris.

I don’t like Spencer or Elijah. Elias Harris is too many ‘s’ sounds, hissy!

He will hardly ever use the middle name anyway.

AdaColeman · 12/11/2023 17:54

Edwin Spencer Harris....Perfect!

I'm not keen on Elijah or Elias.

Edwin Spencer Harris xx

gemma19846 · 12/11/2023 18:29

Elijah Edwin. I wouldnt use Edwin as a first name. He would also get called Eddie. Elijah is a lovely name

Edwin Spencer Harris flows really well. I like the name Edwin. It's recognizable yet still unusual and you can use all the nicknames for Edward.

Elias Harris doesn't work at all.

Elijah Harris works well. Elijah is a fine name imo.

Spencer Harris works well too. I think it's a bit dated though.

Spencer Edwin Harris

Elijah goes best with Harris I think.
I'm not keen on the name Edwin honestly, which you have as the middle name to Elijah...so out of those names I'd put Spencer in the middle.
Therefore my preference is...
Elijah Spencer Harris

I do like the name Edward! A lot. I have a close friend called Edward though so just feels a bit weird....

Edwin Spencer Harris- lovely name. I think this works best due to names not starting and ending with vowel sounds x

abs12 · 13/11/2023 08:57

Elijah Edwin Harris! It's so cool. Elias with the s, great name but not with Harris. Love Spencer too but Eli Harris is rocking, gets my vote!

KeepingCool · 13/11/2023 10:18

Have you considered Ethan?
Ethan Spencer Harris

SandandSky · 13/11/2023 10:20
