I like it but it depends on pronounciation.

---

I say el-EYE-us, which I like (end sounds like Tobias)

---

I don't like it when pronounced EL-ee-us (end sounds like Marius)

---

I don't know if other people can tell the difference but I really can and it changes the name completely for me.

I love it.

I've been thinking about it a lot lately. Probably because I like the name Eli, but feel it's on the nicknamey side. I want to like it, but I'm not 100% sold on it for some reason even though it has all the right ingredients to be a name that I would like.

- not uncommon, but not too "out there"
- ends with an s (I love boy names that end with an s)
- starts with "Eli" which I like
- not difficult for those unfamiliar with the name to pronounce

I think it sounds a little snobby actually, and maybe a bit nerdy but not in a good way. Like, an over-the-top, I'm better than you, personality would accompany it. I don't know. It's a weird one for me.

I really like it when it's pronounced eh-LIE-us. I'm not too keen on eh-LEE-us, though. It sounds a bit too girly to me even though it's a masculine name.

Depends on how you pronounce it. I really like El-ee-as but not E-lie-as.

I like it. I like most El- names, actually.

Ick

I've always disliked Elias. Ick.

I love him!

Love!

Awesome name, which is often overlooked because of Eli and Elijah. I wish it were used more.
