Alternative to Ariel?

Boy Names

My husband would like to name our son due in a couple of months [name_u]Ariel[/name_u], after his brother, but I am still not sure if I think it is useable as a first name and we may end up using it as a middle name.

My question is if we decide not to go with [name_u]Ariel[/name_u] as his first name, then what? Our only real criteria are that It “sounds Jewish”, its not popular but its not unheard of and that it goes with big sister’s name [name_f]Noa[/name_f]. It would also be a plus if it went well with my eldest’s name [name_f]Eilidh[/name_f].

[name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_u]Ari[/name_u]?

[name_m]Uriel[/name_m]/[name_m]Uri[/name_m], [name_m]Adriel[/name_m], [name_f]Abriel[/name_f], [name_f]Ahriel[/name_f] (a variant of [name_u]Ariel[/name_u]), Azariel/[name_m]Azriel[/name_m] (maybe not the best meaning), [name_m]Daniel[/name_m], [name_m]Hadriel[/name_m], [name_u]Nuriel[/name_u], Raf’ael

mamabeetothree We considered [name_u]Ari[/name_u], but we think it sounds too much like [name_f]Eilidh[/name_f].
jalila13 I really like [name_m]Adriel[/name_m], [name_m]Azriel[/name_m] and [name_u]Nuriel[/name_u].

I like the suggestion of [name_m]Azriel[/name_m] and [name_m]Adriel[/name_m] if you still want to use [name_u]Ariel[/name_u] as first.

If you want to use [name_u]Ariel[/name_u] as middle you might want to consider:

[name_m]Idris[/name_m] [name_u]Ariel[/name_u]
[name_m]Judah[/name_m] [name_u]Ariel[/name_u]
[name_m]Isaac[/name_m] [name_u]Ariel[/name_u]

But I think that you should go for either [name_m]Azriel[/name_m] or [name_m]Adriel[/name_m], they are both gorgeous :slight_smile:
