Bryn or Elijah?

[ErikaMaye]

We've decided on a girls name, but if its a boy, we're torn between these two! Any opinions? x

Elijah is a bit naff.......

Bryn is a fab name, understatedly fab as well, which just makes it even better.

Either

the only thing I'd add is the sibling dimension (see the sibling names thread!)
if you plan to have more children, what would you consider calling them, and how worried are you about having siblings with names that 'go' ?
I love the name Noah, but would feel if I had another boy I would have to give him a biblical-ish name, probably pitched at a similar level of trendiness / unusualness
(but then I probably over-analyse things...)

love both couldn't decide

i love elijah cos of the shortened version eli I would use it if we had another ds except we already have an Ezekiel ( zeke)

Elijah is beautiful. Bryn is one of the most hideous names I have veer heard!

Bryn.

Elijah too girly

Neither-both terrible names.

My friend had an Alsation called Bryn

I do like it though!

elijah

Bryn was on my list for ds - both dh and I are half-Welsh and it's one of my favourite Welsh names.

(Had never occurred to me anyone would get it confused with Bryan - which is a spelling mistake anyway - doesn't sound anything like it. Could work as an idiot-detector...)

bryn. Elijah is a mouthful and has no obvious short form. 'el' is too feminine although you could use Eli. eel-eye.

Bryn is different without being mad. I like it.

Bryn.
Can't be doing with OT names at all.

Am intrigued by the idea that Bryn is a girls name lastboxoftampons!

never heard a girl called Bryn

Bronwyn or Brianna maybe lol

Bryn Bryn Bryn

Oh god Bryn is awful - elijah is much better.

I think Elijah is awful! sounds like one of those octuplets to me. They were all given Metheuselah-style names.

i like both but Bryn is fabulously cool =]

possible though that i think this because the first bryn i met was a VERY hot australian with an accent that made my knees go weak haha

nothing wrong with Elijah but not quite Bryn standards

Elijah.

My aunt had a dog called Bryn

I know a female Bryn. She is Canadian.

Elijah. Bryn reminds me of Uncle Bryn from Gavin and Stacey.

Bryn wins hands down, I'd rather be reminded of Rob Bryden than a Hobbit anyday!

It's a lovely name.
