I like [name]Eli[/name] and [name]Arlo[/name]! [name]Arlo[/name] is so sweet, a great pair! ([name]Eli[/name] is my favourite boys name ever!!!) And [name]Phoebe[/name] and [name]Clementine[/name] are really sweet and go well with [name]Eli[/name]. Not a fan of [name]Beatrix[/name], but [name]Eli[/name] and [name]Bea[/name] is a pretty cute sibset.

1 [name]Eli[/name] and [name]Cassius[/name] - if you don’t want to get stuck in a Biblical pattern, the old Latin name of [name]Cassius[/name] would be a great choice!

2 [name]Eli[/name] and [name]Asa[/name] - If you don’t mind a Biblical theme…I always liked these two Biblical names together - they’re both three letters but sound completely different.

3 [name]Eli[/name] and [name]Arlo[/name] - If you wanta more country/folksy vibe, [name]Arlo[/name] is the way to go!

I voted for [name]Ezra[/name], although now that I think about it it could be a bit matchy with [name]Eli[/name]. I would have voted for [name]Asa[/name] but I know a lot of people have problems with the name being mispronounced as ass-a. [name]Arlo[/name] is really cute, now that I think about it, and fits well with [name]Eli[/name]. I think [name]Rex[/name], [name]Kit[/name] and [name]Cassius[/name] aren’t the same style as [name]Eli[/name]; [name]Rex[/name] is too informal, [name]Cassius[/name] too formal, and [name]Kit[/name] to me will always be a girls name (blame the American girl [name]Kit[/name], she was my favorite). [name]Eli[/name] is one of my favorite boy names, btw, and I love your girl names as well :smiley:

I like [name]Arlo[/name], [name]Kit[/name] and [name]Cassius[/name] and think they all work really well with both [name]Eli[/name] and your girls names (all of which I adore!) I voted [name]Arlo[/name] to be perfectly honest because it was first on the list out of the ones I liked and I impulsively clicked it.

I love the girl name options, especailly [name]Beatrix[/name] and [name]Clementine[/name] which go really well with [name]Eli[/name].

Of the boy’s names I adore [name]Ezra[/name] but not sure about [name]Eli[/name] and [name]Ezra[/name] together. [name]Arlo[/name] and [name]Cassius[/name] are my favourites, my vote went with the latter.

I voted for [name]Cassius[/name], hands-down.

[name]Ezra[/name] and [name]Arlo[/name] are too phonetically similar.

[name]Kit[/name] and [name]Rex[/name] are mainly nicknames, whereas [name]Eli[/name] and your girl choices are full stand-alone names.

[name]Asa[/name] is too close to ass.

[name]Cassius[/name] is gorgeous, formal and cool.

I chose [name]Cassius[/name]. I like [name]Arlo[/name] too, but when I say it and [name]Eli[/name] out loud together they just don’t sound like they should be brothers to me.

It was hard to choose. I like [name]Rex[/name] with [name]Eli[/name]. They are both 3 letters long. I like [name]Kit[/name] too, but just as a nn, not as a full name.

I really like all your names, but I had to vote for [name]Asa[/name]. It’s mah ferverite. But I also adore [name]Arlo[/name], [name]Ezra[/name], [name]Rex[/name] and [name]Kit[/name]. It’s a tough choice- but whatever you decide- he’s going to have a fabulous name!

[name]Ezra[/name] got my vote.

I voted for [name]Ezra[/name] because it is my number one favorite boys name right now, and I am trying to convince dh to use it for our coming son. But I made my vote before I read your post. I agree with others that [name]Eli[/name] and [name]Ezra[/name] are very similar, so it might be difficult to say them together. My second choice would probably be [name]Arlo[/name] or [name]Cassius[/name]. My issue with [name]Cassius[/name] is that I am not really sure how to pronounce it. Is it [name]Cass[/name]-ee-us or [name]Cash[/name]-us? I love how the vivacious spunky sound of [name]Arlo[/name]!

Oh gosh this is a difficult one, I don’t think I’m any closer to settling on a name! Though [name]Arlo[/name] is maybe edging towards top contender!
