What about Elliot?

If you want to call your child Alias, go ahead, he is your child.
But expect him to hate you for all the ribbing he'll get at school.
Personally I think it's a terrible idea.

Mason is cool, there are quite a few different connotations people may think of, but that's the same with most names.

Honestly, Alias isn't a name, Really truely. Elias is - but alias is a word meaning "otherwise known as - they use it to describe the false names criminals use. "The defendant, Jonh Smith used several aliases over the past 3 years......"

Maximillian is my son's name but we all just call him Max which was the idea - I just wanted him to have a proper name so we could all piss ourselves when he got married!

DH did mention that we should change it after Kerry & Chav man have called their son it but hey we got there first!

Elias/eli just lovely. On my list. Didn't really know Alias was a name, but there you go. As to Mason - I like it BUT wouldn't use it as it's a VERY popular name where I live and the Welsh accent doesn't really do it justice.

No me Alias is 'Alias Smith and Jones' a con man using an alias to do his dreadful deeds! It really means that! \here{http://www.answers.com/topic/alias?cat=technology\for an online definition}

Sorry but I think it is a dreadful name.

In fact, Dreadful (as in Dreadful Spiller in the Borrowers) would probably be better

Blandmum · 19/04/2008 16:23

Elias is an name.

Use Alias, and you will look as if you didn't know what I means....

Blandmum · 19/04/2008 16:25

try again-the meaning of Alias!

msappropriate · 19/04/2008 16:25

Alias? Is is a bit egocentric to give your kid the male version of your name?

Blandmum · 19/04/2008 16:27

look, these people don't think it is a name either
