Baby already 3 weeks old...Emil or Elio?

[stuckonnamesbigtime]

As the title says really. Very hard for us to come up/agree on boys names, and even harder to pick one.

Emil or Elio? These are our current choices.

We live in France, we are from U.K., Spain, and Ireland. Other boys' names suggestions also welcome!

I really like Elio!

I pronounce it 'Eh Lee Oh', and I can't think of alternatives?

Like someone else said, it sounds smiley and sunny.

Perfect

I like Emil best

I like Emile. I think Emil is not as nice looking and u think some would pronounce it differently.

Elio sounds like an app to me, or a company. Like a nice word but more of a weight loss app than a child.

Love Emilio- know one who goes by Elmo which is cute

I love Elio - it’s derived from Helios the Greek Sun God isn’t it? So definitely a happy, sunny vibe name. I don’t dislike Emil though.

Emil is lovely

My friend’s grandson is Emilio which is lovely.

I love Emilio. I don't think I can convince my husband on it though.

I think we will not choose Elio.

Finally, Before we make our very final decision tomorrow, Felix or Emil? This was the other one the list that I also keep coming back to. Husband prefers Emil, I'm not sure which I like more.

Naming this baby is one of the hardest things we've ever had to do!

I'd go for Felix. A solid classic name, easy to spell & pronounce and very recognisable in many countries.

If you liked Elio you could've gone for Elliot/Elliott and used Elio as a nickname maybe.

You gave birth to the baby maybe be more firm with your husband.
Sounds like he's rejecting all your picks.
Felix is lovely.

Don't ignore your gut instinct.

Another vote for Emil, as I also enjoyed Emil and the Detectives as a youngster!

How about Eli?

I like Emil

I love Felix

I love Leo

I like Elio

Ezio?

Felix Emil
Emil Felix

I prefer Emil, but think Felix Emil flows better

Felix Emil does flow nicely. We already have a middle name so Felix or Emil will be the first name 😊

Any other preferences for either Emil or Felix?

Thanks all 💜

Felix or Emilio would be my choices.

Love this name and. Idea

Emil is a great strong name.
Felix is a bit wet.

I've heard kids called Enzo and Ezra recently

Emil is nice

Elio reads like Elmo and would probably be pronounced wrong

Felix sounds like a cats name

Sorry wrong quote

This is the quote I meant

How about Elias?
I love all your choices BTW (not entirely helpful I know!)

I love Elio but see it’s now between Felix or Emil so Emil. I love Felix but it’s a bit dull next to the other two names!
