[Opinions] Elijah or Demetrius?

Which name do you think wears better for a main character? He's sort of mysterious, hard to know and tolerate, might come off as a huge d-bag sometimes, but he's truly decent on the inside. He's a composer, plays the viola / flute btw
Middle names I've thought of are Eduino (Italian form of Edwin), Felipe, Amadeu (Amadeus), Constantino...

Can you make suggestions? Demetrius or Elijah?
Demetrius Eduino Maria Felipe...?
Elijah Maria Eduino Constantino...?

Cheers!

I like Demetrius more for a real person, so I'd go with that.

I'd be way more easily convinced to be sympathetic to a Demetrius of the given description. Demetrius is a good complex name.
Elijah sounds so stern, like a cruel dried-up patriarch, to me. Not like that so much on a real person, but on a character I am slightly repelled, and if it's one who's sometimes a d-bag ... he'd annoy me, tbh.

Demetrius Eduino Maria Felipe sounds pretty fabulous, haha. I'm not going to attempt to create a better combo. I like the name Constantino much more than Felipe, though.

As a stand alone name I definitely prefer Elijah, but the description of your character just screams Demetrius to me. I like Demetrius Eduino the best, second choice would be Demetrius Constantino.

Demetrius sounds more dominant to my ears. I imagine Demetrius as a big strong alpha male while Elijah is more sophisticated, calm and brainy.
