Middle and surname will be ..... David Friedmann

In no particular order, please give me your opinions on

Noah

Joseph
Elijah

Or suggest others you think might suit. We are Jewish and would like to reflect this. Thanks so much!

I have an Elijah David! We call him Eli, I tried to call him Elijah the other day and he said no (thats 7 year olds for you!)
I also like Jonathan and Nathaniel.
I find Noah really overused and boring, I really do not like it any more.
Elliot is nice, Joseph is ok too.

I love the name Joseph

Elijah David sounds lovely.

Noah - nice
Elliot - nice it was what DS would have been called if we hadn't already have had a Harriet
Joseph - too many of them about
Elijah - nice and Eli is a nice nickname
Jonathan - Nooooooo
Nathaniel - Reminds me of that dappy FIona woman who presented GMTV although Nat is a nice nickname.

I really like Jonathan and Joseph.

SillyTillyBilly · 03/05/2010 10:06

Really lovely names - all of them! My kind of names!

My favourites are probably Noah, Joseph and Jonathan. Think about the shortened versions too as no doubt they will end up sometimes being Joe, Jon, Nate/Nathan etc.

What about Benjamin?

I like all of your list but my favourites are Nathaniel, Elliot and Jonathan

I think they are all great I especially like Nate as a nickname for Nathaniel.
