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!

Elio

Interested to know whether the Spanish would pronounce Elio "el-ee-o," while I think in English we'd say "ee-lee-o" .

Both good choices but Elio may have more mispronunciations.

Both sound girlish to me. Emily and Ellie.

Emil by far. We know one and it’s a great name, though I know his parents get a teeny bit frustrated that it should be pronounced “e’-mil”, quite a short, sharp sound, whereas in the UK it can softened a little to “eh-mill” - not sure I’ve managed to explain that well but in the UK some people go nearer the French pronunciation.

What about Emmett? A lovely Irish name.

Helio - with a silent H works.

Emmet ?

…. Or Emerson

Felix. Great name.

I like Emil. Friend has a teenage one pronounced EMM-ill, which is apparently the English pronunciation.

Not the English pronunciation that I am familiar with

I LOVE the idea of combining the 2 and calling him Emilio!

I think we're going with Emil, and I might use Emilio as a little nickname 😊 even though it's longer!

Emmet is lovely

Leon

this reminds me too much of character although i love the name😅

Emilio? Then you can use either Emil or Elio as diminutives.
