Needing middle name ideas for [name_m]Elijah[/name_m].
Here is my list right now… would love to get some more names. Right now, I seem to prefer one syllable middle names.
Elijah Bryce
Elijah Bennett
Elijah Gage
Elijah Wolfe
Elijah Phillip
Elijah Sam
Elijah Paul
Elijah Jack
Elijah Thomas
Elijah Henry
**A little about my style: I really like for the first name to be biblical, have more than two syllables and have the ability to have a nickname. But I’m pretty open on middle names.
I am hoping to see both common and uncommon names to give DH and I ideas to bounce off from. The only name that is off the table is James since it’s an overused family name. DH and I love the idea of honoring family with our children’s names… ODS has the middle name of Lee which is a family name, but I don’t think the next one has to be if we find a name we really like (Since Elijah is in honor of a family member).
Hard to make suggestions without a sense of your style. I always go with meaningful family middles–or historical heroes.
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Winston[/name_m] (I adore [name_m]Winston[/name_m] [name_m]Churchill[/name_m])
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] (love [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] [name_m]Roosevelt[/name_m])
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Whitman[/name_m] ([name_m]Walt[/name_m] [name_m]Whitman[/name_m] was my favorite poet)
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_u]Wallace[/name_u] (just like the name [name_u]Wallace[/name_u])
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Huckleberry[/name_m] (lightens up the feel of the name–a bit more charming)
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Cash[/name_m] (love [name_m]Johnny[/name_m] [name_m]Cash[/name_m], plus sounds modern and cool)
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] (upstanding citizen)
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Wolf[/name_m] (super cool)
It’s hard to give suggestions when there isn’t enough information on what style of names you like. What are some names you’ve like, but not with [name_m]Elijah[/name_m]? [name_f]Do[/name_f] you prefer common or uncommon names? Are there any family members you want to honor directly or indirectly?
I’ve been searching a middle name for [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] for a while and recently had a big thread with a lot of suggestions. Maybe something will catch your eye? Link
To be honest, I am pretty open with Middle names. I really like for the first name to be biblical, have more than two syllables and have the ability to have a nickname.

[name_f]My[/name_f] son’s name is [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Christian[/name_m].
From your list [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Bennett[/name_m] would be my favorite. [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Gage[/name_m], [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Wolfe[/name_m], [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m], & [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] are also nice.
Some other suggestions: [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_u]Gray[/name_u], [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Lucas[/name_m], [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m], [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Preston[/name_m], [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_u]Blaise[/name_u]
[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_m]Bennett[/name_m], [name_m]Henry[/name_m], [name_m]Thomas[/name_m], and [name_m]Wolf[/name_m]. Also the suggestions of [name_m]Cole[/name_m], [name_u]Reed[/name_u]/[name_u]Reid[/name_u], and [name_u]Grey[/name_u]. I would like [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] more than [name_u]Sam[/name_u].
