[Opinions] Elias

I don't see a whole lot of posts regarding Elias. So what do you think of Elias?

Personally, I like it better than Elijah. I'm pronouncing it eh-LIE-us, by the way. I also love the nickname Eli.

If I ever have children in the future, Elias would have been one of my top picks if it weren't for the fact that my boyfriend and I both love Alice for a girl.

Because I'm addicted to making up combos for random names...

Elias Jasper
Elias Morgan
Elias Caleb
Elias Jonah
Elias Rowan
Elias Rory
Elias Jude
Elias Damian

I love that name! I pronounce it E-lee-ahs. I wouldn't let the fact that you both like Alice on a girl. I really don't think the two are THAT close.

Theres a hockey player for the nj devils named Patrick Elias. I never new Elias was an actual first name. I like this name combo.

Personally, I think Elias is awesome. But it needs an uncomplicated middle name. Like Andrew, or William.

I LOVE Elias, but I pronounce it ee-lee-us. I also like Alice but that doesn't stop me from liking Elias. From your combos I like:

Elias Jasper
Elias Jonah
Elias Rory
Elias Jude

Thank you. The only reason I wouldn't use both Elias and Alice is the similarity in sound, especially when pronounced eh-LIE-us.

I really like Elias. I pronounce it the same way as you.

Out of your combos, my favorite is Elias Rowan. It's dashing! I also like Elias Morgan and Elias Jude.

I like Elias! I like all of your combos, except maybe Elias Jude.

Thanks! Jude just seems to work well as a middle name so that's why I threw it in there. Haha.

I love, love, love Elias (I pronounce it eh-LEE-ahs). Too bad it's so popular here.

I really like Elias Jasper, Elias Rowan and Elias Jude :)

Thank you. :) Do you mean it's too popular where you live or here on the boards? It's not popular at all where I live. I've never heard of an Elias around here before.

I mean that it's popular where I live (it was the 2nd most popular name here last year).

I really like it. It is sweetly old fashioned. Gentlemanly yet playful. And Eli is a good masculine nickname.

Thank you. I love the nickname Eli. :)

I like Elias. It's very handsome and intellectual. Elias Morgan, Elias Caleb, Elias Jude, and Elias Damian are your best combos.

I love Elias and Elijah equally. But since Elias is less used, I tend to favor it more. It feels more sophisticated than earthy Elijah. Both are nice; it just depends which flavor I want at that moment.

Alice is definitely worth an Elias. And I know what you mean about making combos for the fun of it. Elias Jasper is A1. It has a ring about it and makes them both look very comfortable in each other's company. I might steal it one day, although Jasper Elias is starting to sound a little better to my ears.

I think that's why I like Elias more than Elijah, because it is less used. It feels very fresh. But I do like Elijah as well.

I'd love to be able to use both Alice and Elias, but they are too similar to be used together, I think. Making combos is fun! I really like Elias Jasper and Jasper Elias.
