Could Xavier and Eli be brothers?

So, after deciding on a short list after months of discussion and debate ([name_u]Arlo[/name_u], [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] and [name_u]Quinn[/name_u]), my husband comes out of nowhere tonight and says “I think I like [name_m]Eli[/name_m]”.

Now, this may not seem to be an issue as it’s a great name, except for the fact that [name_m]Eli[/name_m] was the name I was really in love with when I was pregnant with [name_m]Xavier[/name_m], and back then he claimed to hate it!

Since that time I have gone off [name_m]Eli[/name_m] a bit, I think partly because I have come across a few and partly because I had resigned myself to the fact I wouldn’t ever get to use it…

So what are your thoughts? Could [name_m]Eli[/name_m] be a brother to [name_m]Xavier[/name_m]? To me they don’t really seem to have the same feel…

I love [name_m]Xavier[/name_m] and [name_m]Eli[/name_m] together :slight_smile:

I think they are a cute together
I would have been [name_m]Eli[/name_m] if I were a boy

I think [name_m]Eli[/name_m] and [name_m]Xavier[/name_m] are lovely together :slight_smile:

I love [name_m]Eli[/name_m] and think they go great together!!

Yes, [name_m]Xavier[/name_m] and [name_m]Eli[/name_m] would make a smashing brother duo. Different styles can be complementary. Many Biblical names can “match” well with more exotic choices. I would encourage you to pick your long lost love [name_m]Eli[/name_m] before your husband changes his mind again! :slight_smile:

I think [name_m]Xavier[/name_m] and [name_m]Eli[/name_m] fit together well - although I’d slightly prefer [name_m]Xavier[/name_m] & [name_u]Elias[/name_u]/[name_m]Elijah[/name_m] nickname [name_m]Eli[/name_m].

Edited for privacy.

I love both names and together they are perfect

[name_m]Xavier[/name_m] and [name_m]Eli[/name_m] would make a lovely brother set.

Definitely! He is likely to change his mind at any second :wink: I have told him that I have put [name_m]Eli[/name_m] back on the list!

Thanks to everyone for all the positive feedback :slight_smile: [name_m]Eli[/name_m] is back on the list! Hopefully our little man looks like an [name_m]Eli[/name_m]!
