DH and I love the name Eli, and I know it can be a stand alone name, but because it is so short, I would prefer to have a "full" name and have Eli the nickname (which we would use most often anyway). I may still use it as is if I cannot find a longer name to use. Any ideas for names other than
Elliot
Elijah
Elias?
Thanks!
Re: Full name for Eli
Yeah, I was going to say Elijah or Elias. Although Eli Manning's fn is Elisha. Not quite sure how that's pronounced, maybe like Elijah with a "sh"?
GL!
I really like the name Elijah!! To me, Elliot wouldn't be shortened to Eli because it doesn't have the long E sound.
This just got me thinking that maybe the reason Elliot is being used for girls is because of the potential for the nn "Ellie"?
I also like "Elijah". "Elias" is too 'old man' sounding, Elliot risks "ellie" instead of "Eli"
