Seriously struggling for a boy MN! Help!

MLE82 · October 2009

His first name will be Elijah (but we'll mostly call him Eli). Elijah is my DH's grandfather's mn and Eli is my great-grandfather's mn, so it's a family name on both sides, plus we love the meaning.

So that it fits well with Elijah, I'd like for the mn to not be too modern, and it might even be appropriate to pair it with another biblical name... but I do NOT want it to sound like an over the top strange name... Elijah Jebediah Ezekial Lazarus! lol Something more "normal" than Elijah but still somewhat old fashioned... Ideas??? Confused

Elijah ______ Long

I like Elijah Carter Long.

or maybe Elijah Thomas Long?

My neighbor's little boy is Elijah Jacob. Cute name!

I love Jacob too... but if we ever have a 2nd boy, we'd like for him to be Jacob (Jake), so I'm kind of wanting to save that name... You obviously get my taste though! haha thanks!
