Hi everyone, I have a 3y old named Eloise and am currently 31w pregnant with her baby brother but can’t seem to choose a name. Which one do you think goes best with Eloise: Elijah or Alexander? We’re in the UK and there will be no middle names. Surname is Hare.

DH and I also like Archie, Nathaniel and Theodore but his favourite is Alexander and my favourite is Elijah.

Thank youu

Definitely Alexander, though actually I also love Nathaniel.

Alexander. Both are lovely names but IMO Elijah is just too similar and would he confusing when abbreviated. I feel that matching names cause too many problems for siblings.

I really like them both, but of the two, Alexander with Eloise. I really love Nathaniel too though.

I agree Alexander goes much better with Eloise.
