Elliot, Elias

[menomena]

What about Elliot (for a boy! Has Scrubs made it too girly?)

Is Elias better? Would you say El-ee-as or El-eye-as... or something else? (I know how it's said here but just want to check if it's the same elsewhere!)

Thanks

I know one said El-ee-as so I pronounce it this way

Elliot is awful.

I love Elijah, the sound of it is fab. That sort of soft "j" at the end is wonderful!

Elias is OK, but I don't like the "lie" sound in the middle.

I love thopse types of names!My son is Ellis.

Was just about to suggest Ellis.

My son's middle name is Elliott so i love that too.

I would pronounce it 'ee-lye-as'

Love Elliot.

I love the name Elliot, it was on the shortlist for DS (actually DH preferred it to the name I settled on!) BUT I decided against it because I knew everyone would drop the T at the end. Which would really pee me off!

Love Ellis and Elias as well though

DS" was going to be an Elias, I love it. He just didn't look like one in the end.

Exactly what LadyintheRadiator said. I love all three names but that would be my order of preference.

Elliot is on our shortlist as well.

One thing that puts me off is it will get shortened but what to? El? Ellie?

Elliot is wonderful!
It is ds' middle name, but if it weren't it would be top of our list for dc3 if it's a boy.

CSWS - ah I remember that now DP has said he has gone off Elliot so we have no name for this little boy!

I have an Elias - we pronounce it E-lie-us. No one has ever tried to shorten it but his friends often miss the E off and call him Lias (lie-us) which is really quite sweet. Really suits him and we love the name as it's still quite unusual so nah, don't use it .

Oops!

Elliot is lovely but I still think of the kif from ET whenever I hear it.

Elias is nice- would pronounce El-eye-as and E-lye for short.

I do love the name Elliot havs always been my "boys" name never thought I would get to use it.

Another thing is this Scrubs thing, he would have the EXACT same name as the female character in it. Would this be a problem? Is Scrubs that well known? If it were Corrie Street I could see the problem.

I loved all the El names when pregnant with my 2nd son

went for Ellis in the end ( Ella was our girls name choice)
he is sometimes El,Els/z etc!

Love both Ellis and Elliot
Not so keen on Elias

Love the name Elliot - it's my DS2's name and he gets called Els for short. I think it is a strong name but has a lyrical quality about it too. Always been my fave.

Love Ellias; not so fond of Elliot.

Elias or elijah for me
