[name_m]Hi[/name_m] berries!
Would love to hear your thoughts on this name! Recently came across it through one of my favorite kiddos; she has a cat named [name_m]Eliel[/name_m]. I am saying it like eh-lee-ehl. What would you envision an [name_m]Eliel[/name_m] to be like? What nn would you use for him? I thought about [name_m]Eliel[/name_m] nn [name_m]Leo[/name_m] but they feel so unrelated other than the common “lee” sound that I feel it might feel forced.
So far sort of contemplating [name_m]Lorcan[/name_m] [name_m]Eliel[/name_m] [name_m]Jack[/name_m] or [name_m]Eliel[/name_m] [name_m]Theo[/name_m] Jack/Eliel [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Jack[/name_m], but I’m definitely open to suggestions. What combos do you like with [name_m]Eliel[/name_m] in it? I’ve also contemplated [name_m]Eliel[/name_m] [name_m]Matthias[/name_m], maybe.
Thanks, berries!
Eh-lee-ehl would be my default pn too. I like it! It feels like the name of a biblical angel or a [name_m]Tolkien[/name_m] elf, very ethereal. [name_m]Eliel[/name_m] nn: [name_f]Lilo[/name_f], [name_f]El[/name_f], or [name_m]Lev[/name_m] maybe? TBH I think you can put [name_m]Eliel[/name_m], [name_m]Lorcan[/name_m], and [name_m]Jack[/name_m] in any order and they sound good. I like [name_m]Eliel[/name_m] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Jack[/name_m] and [name_m]Eliel[/name_m] [name_m]Matthias[/name_m] too. I’d suggest [name_m]Eliel[/name_m] [name_m]Jacoby[/name_m] [name_m]Finn[/name_m], [name_m]Eliel[/name_m] [name_m]Clarence[/name_m], [name_m]Eliel[/name_m] [name_m]Marco[/name_m] [name_m]Rafe[/name_m], [name_m]Flynn[/name_m] [name_m]Eliel[/name_m] [name_m]Carlo[/name_m], [name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_m]Eliel[/name_m] [name_m]Rupert[/name_m], and [name_m]Finnegan[/name_m] [name_m]Abe[/name_m] [name_m]Eliel[/name_m].

I like Eliel - pleasing to say, smart feeling and friendly. I’d use the nickname Ells, El, Lel, Lili (leelee), Lelly
Eliel Theodore Jack ‘Leo’ would be cool - and I like Eliel Matthias! Lorcan Eliel Jack is charming too - gently magical.
A few ideas:
Eliel Thomas
Eliel Benedict / Benedict Eliel
Eliel Sylvan
Eliel Abraham
Eliel Sinclair
Eliel Jasper
Eliel Maccabee
Eliel Hugo
Eliel Bruno
Silas Eliel
Eliel Dominic
Eliel Azariah
Eliel Ronan / Ronan Eliel
Bastien Eliel
Eliel Reuben / Reuben Eliel
Eliel Oisin ‘Leo’
Tor Eliel
Eliel Callahan

[name_m]Eliel[/name_m] is very handsome and one of my long-time favourites 
I love how he can easily fit in with current trends but still remain distinct enough. [name_f]My[/name_f] default pronunciation is the same as yours.
From your combos, I love [name_m]Eliel[/name_m] [name_m]Theo[/name_m] [name_m]Jack[/name_m] and [name_m]Eliel[/name_m] [name_m]Matthias[/name_m] the most.
A few that I’d suggest…
[name_m]Eliel[/name_m] [name_m]Thomsen[/name_m]
[name_m]Eliel[/name_m] [name_m]Florian[/name_m]
[name_m]Eliel[/name_m] [name_m]Francis[/name_m]
[name_m]Eliel[/name_m] [name_m]Carlisle[/name_m]
[name_m]Eliel[/name_m] [name_m]Cosmin[/name_m]
[name_m]Eliel[/name_m] [name_m]Nicolas[/name_m]
[name_m]Eliel[/name_m] [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m]

Thanks everyone! He’s much more well liked than I had anticipated - I thought others might find him boring with the repeated El’s. I think [name_m]Lorcan[/name_m] [name_m]Eliel[/name_m] [name_m]Jack[/name_m], [name_m]Eliel[/name_m] [name_m]Theo[/name_m] [name_m]Jack[/name_m], or [name_m]Eliel[/name_m] [name_m]Matthias[/name_m] are still drawing me the most, but I d8id like some of your suggestions!
@posielee - thanks girl, I do like [name_m]Rafe[/name_m] and [name_m]Eliel[/name_m] together a lot! [name_m]Eliel[/name_m] Rafe/Rafe [name_m]Eliel[/name_m]? [name_m]Rafael[/name_m] and [name_m]Eliel[/name_m] don’t go together, really, I suppose.

Ooh, I wish I had more ties to [name_m]Maccabee[/name_m] because it’s such a cool sound and aesthetic. I don’t think I’m Jewish enough to pull it off. I do like [name_m]Tor[/name_m] [name_m]Eliel[/name_m] a lot! I’ll have to give him some thought. I go back and forth between wanting to add [name_m]Tor[/name_m] to my list or feeling like he sounds awkward.
