I like that [name]Elliot[/name] could pay homage to [name]Elizabeth[/name]. I’d use [name]Lee[/name], [name]Eli[/name], or even [name]Teo[/name] as nicknames. But I confess I voted for [name]Theodore[/name]–I love how it sounds with your set!

I agree with ellenelle about [name]Elliot[/name]. If you wanted [name]Eliza[/name], [name]Elias[/name] sounds even closer…still have the [name]Eli[/name] nn.

Good luck!

I [name]LOVE[/name] all of your names!!! [name]Eliza[/name] was one of our top picks for a girl, but we’re having a boy as well. [name]Annabel[/name] is also a name I have always adored. [name]Oliver[/name], [name]Henry[/name], [name]Elliot[/name], [name]Simon[/name] and [name]Theodore[/name] are all names that are on my final list. Having the hardest time narrowing it down! GL!

I think they are all winners with your children’s names, although my least favourites from that list are [name]Milo[/name] and [name]Simon[/name]. Congrats on your second son.

I love how [name]Simon[/name] sounds with [name]Oliver[/name] and [name]Annabel[/name]. However, I second jesba’s suggestion of [name]Elias[/name].

[name]LOVE[/name] your names! I voted for [name]Theodore[/name] If my husband could pronounce it correctly it would be my next child’s name!

I think [name]Theodore[/name] [name]Eli[/name] would be a nice name! Plus a tribute to [name]Elizabeth[/name]!

I would definitely vote for [name]Eli[/name] or [name]Elias[/name] if those were options in honor of [name]Elizabeth[/name]. It would be wonderful to honor your grandmother, and [name]Oliver[/name], [name]Annabel[/name] and [name]Elias[/name] would be a fantastic set.

[name]Love[/name] [name]Elliot[/name]. Also like [name]Theodore[/name] and [name]Milo[/name] :slight_smile:

Thanks so much, everyone. I think my DH is coming around to [name]Elliot[/name] a bit. I like [name]Elias[/name] too, but am not as into the nn [name]Eli[/name] (plus, it sounds a little goofy with our last name).

That’s an amazing list. [name]Every[/name] name on there, bar [name]Simon[/name], is one of my own top names. [name]Milo[/name] is my number one, so I voted for that, but you really can’t go wrong with any. The only problem that I can see is that [name]Elliot[/name] has the girly [name]Ellie[/name] sound, which is what prevents me from moving it higher up my list. I do still think it’s very handsome, though. [name]Lio[/name] might be a possible nn option. [name]How[/name] do you feel about [name]Ezra[/name]. It might be a way of honourig [name]Elizabeth[/name]?

I voted for [name]Simon[/name]–I just liked it the best in general and with [name]Oliver[/name] and [name]Annabel[/name]–but I think [name]Elliot[/name] is a nice way to honor an [name]Elizabeth[/name]. I don’t love [name]Eli[/name], either, but I think [name]Eli[/name] and [name]Leo[/name] are cool nicknames for [name]Elliot[/name]. I would probably just use [name]Elliot[/name], though–I think it’s fine on its own! I think [name]Simon[/name] [name]Elliot[/name] is a great combo, too…
