WDYTO Elijah? I wasnt a fan of this name until I met the sweetest little boy named Elijah at the daycare center where I work. If you like the name, what do you think of the nickname Eli and what middle names would you suggest? Thanks!

It's a great name and I love the nn Eli. There are so many mn's that would work for this name, it would just depend on what style you wanted.

I really like Elijah, although I'd probably use the nn Eli. I think Elijah is much better than Elias.

Honestly, I like Eli more than Elijah, but I don't mind Elijah. I'd just end up calling the kid Eli though. I like Elias less than Eli, but more than Elijah.

Middle Names:
James
Shane
Davis
Jackson
Thomas

I love the name Elijah. I love the name Eli too but not as a nickname because I love it as a biblical name on its own.

I love the combos Elijah Daniel, Elijah Jacob, Elijah Matthew and Elijah Paul

I absolutely adore this name. It's def. going in one of my (future) kid's names. The nickname Eli is cute but also nice for when the guy gets older. Very versatile, IMO.

Elijah Nathaniel, Elijah Benjamin, Elijah James, Elijah Ross, Elijah Graham

I thought the nickname would be great for when he was younger or older. Elijah James and Elijah Graham are very cute..thanks for the ideas!!

I love it. It's on my list and has been for years. I like the nn Eli spelled Ely.

For middle name I like Benjamin, Vincent, Addison, Victor, and Seth.

Thank you so much for your input. I'm currently leaning towards Elijah Seth.
