Help[Opinions] Evander and Elijah
WDYT of Evander? Elijah? Which do you prefer?
My husband was lamenting the fact that our daughter is named Alexis, and so a boy can't be Alexander because they're too close. I was trying to think of names that are close to Alexander and I came up with Evander. He actually likes it because he says Van is a super-cool nickname and (of course) because of Evander Holyfield. It's got to be manly, you know.
Elijah was another suggestion of mine because I thought the nickname Eli would remind him of Eli Manning.
It would be Evander Christian or Elijah Christian, just for comparison, if you think one sounds better than the other.

I prefer Elijah.
Elijah Christian sounds nice. I like the nickname Eli better than Van, also.

Both names are really hansdome! It IS a shame you can't use Alexander, it's gorgeous. Evander is nice and you could als ouse the nn Evan, I guess. Lysander is another name that if close to Alexander that you may want to consider.
Elijah's nice enough, but I would go with Eli as a full name over Elijah.
Evander Christian and Elijah Christian are both good names.

I like them both. I have Evander in one of my combos already, so I'm more likely to use that.
However, I prefer Eli of the two nicknames provided. Van reminds me of... well. Vans. The white ones that always look very suspicious.
But then... I like Evander Christian better. Elijah Christian seems like too much religion all in one name (at least to me).
