help!

I'm due in a month and we can't decide on a name. We're having a boy, he'll have an older sister Leah Michelle. My husband likes the name Eli, but I'm not sure about it. Any suggestions for names that go with Leah, or middle name suggestions for Eli. Thanks!

Hmmm...based on the name choices, are you looking for Jewish/Hebrew names?

The name Eli is cute! It's very classic and not too popular.

Eli Lucas
Eli Walter
Eli Sebastian
Eli Frederick
Eli Quinten
Eli James
Eli Robert
Eli John

Those are ones I like. Whatever you end up choosing, I would shy away from a middle name that starts with a vowel. In my opinion it just doesn't flow. But I suppose it would depend on your last name.

I think Eli is a bit too close to Leah, too matchy.
My only suggestion is that you find a name you love, rather than one that goes with your daughter's name.

Theo(dore)
Miles
Ethan
Max
Evan

If we have a son one of the names we have picked out is Elijah nn Eli.
I think for a middle name we are on Elijah Bryan (in honor of my father)

I love the name Elijah!

My name is Eli. It's short of Elijah. Maybe you could find an Eli- name you like. Here are some:
Elijah
Elisha
Elishua
Elias
Eliot
Elia
Eliezar
Eliza

(I'm also assuming from Leah and Eli that you might like Jewish names, which, obviously most Eli- names are.)

We are tied between Benjamin Asher and Elijah Bryan

Leah and Eli are so similar sounding to me. I personally think they're too matchy for a sib-set, but that might just be my opinion.

I do like both names, though (I'm considering Leah for my babe).

Suggestions:
Asher
Simon
Oliver
Gavin
Conor
Elliot (which could be nick named Eli)

Leiah and Adam

I always thought they were nice together.

Eli James
Eli Nathaniel
Eli Walter

I'm slightly stumped. :-\

I think Asher and Gavin would both sound really nice with Leah.

Other suggestions:
Alexander
Colin
Corbin
Eben
Felix
Gabriel
Jason
John
Jonas
Kevin

I look after a little boy called Elias. We call him Eli for short.
