[Opinions] Re: Alfred, Elias, and Elior
Alfred is pretty awesome. Allie for a boy name suddenly strikes me as very postmodern-Victorian edgy. I think I like it even more than Albert.I like Elias more than Elior. Elior sounds pretty fantasy-novel-tastic, like the name of a sorcerer's apprentice. Which is cool if that's what you're going for, but I'm not in a Merlin mindframe right now I guess!I think Elias suits Alfred in style much better. BUT, if it was ME, I'd go with Alfred and Eli. Ahh, old school cool at its finest.

Really?Elior is fantasy-novel-tastic? Huh, intriguing. I've never gotten that vibe from it before. Any Elias or Elior of mine would most likely get called Eli on occasion :)

Yeah, it really struck me that way, I don't know what it is about it! ...Ohhhh waaaait, you know what, I think my opinion of it may be tainted BY a fantasy novel... a character called Lior or something along those lines is vaguely familiar to me... yes, definitely something like that. That's probably where I'm getting the association. Darn that book. Whatever it was.
