name from a dream

RedBird11

About a week before my positive pregnancy test I had the most realistic dream of giving birth to a baby boy. It was so vivid. The first name is one that my dh and I have always agreed on and both love. The middle name was kind of out of nowhere... But I actually like it. We don't know if we are having a boy or girl yet but how crazy would it be to name our son (if that's what we have) the name from my dream? 

The name is Eli James. Thoughts?

I like it. Is Eli going to be a standalone, or is it going to be short for Elijah or Elias?

Eli would be a standalone name.

I had a dream we named our son Liam. Haha, we didn't choose that name, but it gave me a new found like for the name.

My husband had a dream where he was told our daughters full name, and when he told it to me it just felt right, so we named her that. That's pretty cool, maybe you have a boy on the way! PS love Eli James

Not crazy at all-- and it would make a cute story to share with your LO.

That's really cool that you went with that name! Hmm, I am starting to think more and more mine will be a boy. 

I am glad the name is getting such a good response. Like I said we have always had Eli as one of our top names but James came out of nowhere. Usually my dreams have odd names but this one felt so real and the timing is crazy too.

I like Eli, have a nephew with the name, it's the most "my style" out of all my nieces and nephews. It's kind of "in style" now, but not trendy. James is a good too.
