Any middle name suggestions for Elias? The parents already have Grace picked out for a girl, but they've been struggling on a boys name and finally came up with Elias--the one name they both seem to like. The general direction would be traditional names; mom liked Alexander and Oliver, dad liked Nathan and Gabriel (but they agreed on none of those). they already have a son, Noah. A middle name with a Jewish orientation would be wonderful. =) They thank you all in advance and so do I!

I'll definitely get them to that site ASAP and give them your suggestions, thanks! I love Elias Asher. So pretty.

James popped into my head when I saw that :)

hrm but now that I re-read your post.. James isn't jewish.. Since it's the 4th book of the New Testament, you probably would want something else.. lemme think on this. heh

I don't think they'd use James, no, but it's so nice! I'll be sure to mention to them that maybe a shorter name would sound nice.

ok I'm kinda stuck on using a J name. So what About:

Elias Jacob
Elias Joel

I do like from the comment about

Elias Daniel I think that sounds really nice together. :)

I get that--J sounds so good with it I think because J is a such a strong letter, and Elias... has the E and A sounds. J names definitely sound good with it--I love Elias Jacob (Jacob is my dad's name!) I'll give them your suggestions, thanks!

I like Jacob and Daniel as middle names for Elias. The only new one I can think of is Elias Benjamin. I like that too.

I really like the name Elias. So special sounding.

Oh, Elias Benjamin is stunning. I don't think I've heard them discussing Benjamin, and I think they might actually like it.

I love their choice too, it really is so special. =) thanks!

something simple. Elias is fairly uncommon, so something like Max, John, James, etc. to keep it from being overpowering.

It'll be simple either way, I think--they don't tend to pick unusual names, and I was quite surprised by Elias. Thanks :)
