Baby Boy Name Opinion 🩵

[Elly1995]

Hello all,

I have found out I am having a baby boy, and would like to hear your opinions on the name I like for him.

First name: Elio
Middle name: Heath

Elio Heath.

What do you all think please? I am looking for uncommon, a bit different but still likeable + not a name where he could get picked on when he starts school.

Thanks.

I had never heard of the name Elio when OP started this thread but it seems that the new Pixar film coming out this summer is called 'Elio'

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elio_(film)

So I think people are about to become more familiar with it as a name, but maybe a bit too familiar with it as they will assume it's after the film.

I think Evander is nice OP.

What about the other strong, powerful name beginning with 'El', ie Elon?

We know an Elio and that kid constantly gets asked iIf his name is Elliot or is it short for Elliot so I would say no.

Heath is too Heath Ledger or a place.

Unfortunately OP I think the majority have given the same opinion.

Sorry OP but I don't love either esp together. Just being honest as I so need that in pregnancy. Some of my name choices were bizarre (not saying yours are btw!) with my first pregnancy and I am so relieved I was talked out of them.

The problem you've got is that Elio is blurred into Heath so it sounds like Elioeath. (Say it quickly without the pause and aitch.) If it was something like like Elio Davide (I assume you're Italian to pick Elio?), it'd be better.

Heath I prefer actually but I'm not sure it 'goes' with Elio at all if it matters to you. Btw, I think it's fine if they don't really flow well if it's a family member being honoured.

But you might not approve of our name selections as I'm sure many don't! It's down to you and DP at the end of the day!

OP if you don’t like common names avoid Rio. I hear it constantly on a football pitch every Sunday.

I think of the naughty monkey in Night at the museum ☺️
