Elijah
Elijah was top on my list a few years ago, and I think it's made is way back up. I despise the NN Eli, though. I like Lij or Lijah, though. Maybe even Eja? Is that weird and stretchy? That LITERALLY just popped into my head, lol. Any interesting NNs for Elijah you've ever heard? I have hope they're out there.My list ATM is Noah Michael, Ezra Cameron, Jude Mackenzie, Gabriel Ethan, and Jonah Taylor. I kind of like Elijah Rhys.Opinions?

Ah! I love Eli! I have a friend whose name is Ilija (pr. 'ee-lee-yah'), Slavic version of Elijah.
I also like Lijah.
How do you pr. Elijah? I say it with a 'y' sound.

Elijah is a great name. "E" works as a nn for Elijah, I quite like that actually. Lij and Lijah are also fine. Eja is a bit of a stretch imo. I love every single fn you had listed and Michael, Ethan and Rhys I love too. I'm gonna be annoying and switch some names around though! I like:Noah Ethan
Ezra Michael
Jude Mackenzie (Left that one the way it was)
Gabriel Taylor
Jonah Rhys
Elijah Cameron

My nephew is called Elijah. We call him Lij,Lijah and Lijey (he is only 4, so Lijey is like a baby nn he will probably grow away from) We have never called him Eli and I dont know of anyone who does.
