Help[Opinions] Elias
And how are we feeling about this one today? ;)
Do you like Elias, Elijah or Ilya better?
I am really feeling good about Elias, personally, and it's never a name I liked before now. It HAS to be pronounced eh-LIE-is though

I like the name. My DH has an uncle with this name, but they pronounce it as EEL-ee-us. I prefer the name Elijah though.

I love Elias and it is a name I would like to use as a middle name. I like Elijah and Ilya, but Elias is my favorite. It's not very common, but still a simple classic.

I love Elias and that's my preferred pronunciation as well.

I do like Elias, it's a strong, handsome, uncommon-but-not-unusual type of name. I prefer Elijah though, that name I love!! =)

I love Elias (pronounced eh-LEE-ahs) a lot. I'm sad it's so popular here.
I like it a lot more than Elijah and Ilya.

I've always liked it, though never necessarily loved it. It has a good, wholesome sound.

Elias is way to popular here. It was ranked 4 in 2008 and 3 in 2007. I don't really like Elijah either, but I like Ilya.

Love, love, love Elias, Elijah and Eli, but my preference has always been Ilias or Ilyas. I like Ilya, too, but wouldn't name a child that. I also love Eliseo, the Spanish form of Elisha.

I always feel good about Elias :) For me, it's a refreshing spin on Elijah and the nn Eli works great for both names.

Agreed. 'eh-LIE-is' for me, too. I really, really like it and it's a nice name that's not too out there, but not commonplace.
