Elijah John

one syllable i think

I agree cadelaide - one syllable best. And I'm trying to stay away from the J-J sound - as much as I love Jack, Jay and James as a middle name.

Like Elijah Zac from your list jellybean

What do you think of...

Elijah Finn
Elijah Bay
Elijah Blake
Elijah Scout

David
Daniel
Matthew
Paul
Saul
Christy

Do you have a J surname? Otherwise I immediately thought Elijah John would be great.

Alternatives might be

Elijah Paul
Elijah Mark
Elijah Alan
Elijah Neil
Elijah Adam
Elijah Luke
Elijah Scott
Elijah Ian
Elijah Owen
Elijah Max

I think that it works best with a more traditional middle name.

Luke
Paul
Mark

My ds(6) is Elijah David.
I love this combo - just sounds really classic to me!

Both Bay and Scout are great with Elijah.

Spidey I want to know what your children are called - I bet they are cool names

I would never dare tell MN Greeny as I fear I might be eaten alive!

I will whisper them to you.

Elijah William
Elijah James
Elijah David

I liked Elijah - the my DPs Mum chaged his mind

Elijah David
Elijah Jospeh
Elijah George
Elijah Darien

Those MILs....!

Did they think it was too biblical? Or just too hefty a name?

Thankfully DH likes it prob even more than I do. But still undecided... Should we just go for it?

I think just 'Elijah'.

It is such a beautiful name, why does it need anything else?

If there is no middle name which is pressing - a family name, for example, then maybe you shouldn't bother.

There's no rule which says that there has to be a middle name, so why not buck the trend?

I just think she didn't like it - quite possibly because it had been my suggestion rolls eyes Its such a lovely name. And even if its shortened by peers, that will be to Eli, and that's okay, too. I say go for it, lollipop!

Elijah Bay is fab, I thought it needed a one syllable name starting with B too!
My DH said on Sunday he likes the name Elijah, it is unheard of for him to start a name conversation! I like it too

As soon as I read you thread title I thought....

Elijah Benjamin

It's only tradition merle, my 2 other DCs have one-syllable middle names, so I'd like to keep it going so that newest one won't feel left out.

Elijah Ben - liking that too.
