We are stuck. We need a name for our little boy, brother to Olivia. DH likes Danny Ray and I like Eli Ryan. Either one of us is going to have to give or we need to find a new name we both agree on. Problem is I havent found anything else that he hasnt shot down. Please help! Little man could be here any minute.
Definitely, Eli Ryan! If you go with your husband's choice, please use, Daniel Ray and use the nn, Danny. Danny is definitely a nickname in my opinion.

I feel like both first names are nn's. I really like Daniel, Ryan and Elijah. What about Daniel Elijah with nn Danny or Elijah Daniel with nn Eli? I like Elijah Daniel best with sister Olivia.

I like Eli Ryan. Maybe you can compromise will a combination of the two names or similar names. Eli Ray, Elijah Ray, Ray Elijah, Ryan Daniel, Daniel Eli, Daniel Elijah or Daniel Ryan.

You guys are either going to have to come up with something completely new or come up with a combo of the names you both like.
Out of the names you listed, I like the combo Daniel/Danny Ryan and Eli Daniel. Elijah Ray, maybe?
I really like Daniel, but Danny as a fn is just icky.
Danny Ray is so country and Eli Ryan is so contemporary so they don't mix so well.
Elliott Daniel? nn Eli?
Eli Daniel?
Daniel Ryan perhaps?
I dislike Ryan as a m

I prefer Eli. But I do like Daniel (not Danny). I like Ryan better than Ray
ETA: Eli is its own name, not just a nn for Elijah or Elliot
