[crazybouncycrls.livejournal.com]

We have narrowed it down to 3 names for a potential girl and 3 names for a potential boy

GIRL

Elise
Chloe
Lila


Boy

Benjamin
Elijah
Isaac



What are some good nick names.  We have Ben for Benjamin, Eli for Elijah, and Ellie for Elise.   Any others you can think of?

Benjamin is the only one that I think needs a nickname, but that's just me. Ben would be just fine. :)

I like all your names! And you could use Eli for Elijah, even though that's kind of a name on its own.

For Benjamin, I kind of like Benjy/ie on a little kid.

Seconded on Benji, or any spelling variation. Though I prefer Benji with an "i."

My husband said the same thing about Benjamin Benjy when he is young and Ben as he gets older

It's a really lame nickname, but I'm a big fan of 'lijah for Elijah.

For the boys, I like all of them. For the girls, I like Elise. I think it's more versatile than Lila and Chloe, which seem very 'young'.

My sister is named Chloe, and it doesn't really need a nickname. We actually have a tendency to make the name longer: "Chlo-monster", Chloers, Chloinda). I guess you could shorten it to "Chlo", but in Germany, where she was born, "Klo" (pronounced the same) is another word for toilet. So we've shied away from that a bit.

The only name I'd use a nickname for is Benjamin- Ben. The others I don't think it's really needed. Though Elli is cute for Elise, and Eli works well for Elijah. But Issac? Short of Issy...maybe Ian? Sac? I'm just throwing out random sounds now. And Lila... Maybe Lily at the most.

I Like Them All. :)

Lisi for Elise
Zac for Isaac

These two names are my faves, too, our of your lists. Good luck!

I love the name Isaac. It means 'he will laugh' and it's my brothers name. My brother is the happiest guy I've ever met, so that's gotta mean something, right? We call him Zac.

I have a friend named Elise, everyone calls her 'e'.

I second liking 'lijah' for a nickname for Elijah.

I like Lijah, too! I didn't think anyone else would, so I didn't mention it in my comment.

I like Elise the best, followed by Lila.
Elise - Ellie, Lisi, Lisa.
Chloe - Doesn't really need one.
Lila - Lil? Doesn't really need one.

Benjamin - Jamie is my favorite nn (even though no one really uses it), Ben, Benny, Benji.

[lind-saay.livejournal.com]

I like Elise, Lila, and all three of the boy names. My favorites, though, are Lila (but with an h - Lilah) and Isaac.

Nicknames:
Elise - Ellie, Elle, Ella, Lise, Lisa
Benjamin - Benji, Benj, Ben, Benny
Elijah - I can only think of Eli.
Isaac - Ike, Zack

Chloe and Benjamin

[heure-actuelle.livejournal.com]

lol oh sorry. i thought you wanted us to choose our favorite of the three...

[crazybouncycrls.livejournal.com]

My top two favorites as well! We figured having some wiggle room is good but I am biased to Chloe and Benjamin the most.

[gregariouspeach.livejournal.com]

Also. I went to Uni with a boy who's nn for Benjamin was Jamin.

[shortbutfast.livejournal.com]

awww, you're such a cute couple! :]

i like all your names in context and think lila would be especially nice. i also like chloe and benjamin for a boy.

[yukonsally]

I think Benjamin is the only one that would warrant a nickname. I'm Elise and can't imagine a nickname for it.

[snailrevolution.livejournal.com]

I think Elise is very pretty. :) Perhaps Lisa as a nickname? Or Lil for Lila. Other than that, everyone seems to have covered it! :p
