Jonah and Eli? Plus middle name ideas

Boy Names
1

I have a son named [name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Samuel[/name_m]. [name_f]My[/name_f] husband and I love his name! We’ve been discussing choices for his future little brother, and there hasn’t been anything that really struck us the same way [name_m]Jonah[/name_m] did, but lately I find I am really liking [name_m]Eli[/name_m]. What do you think of [name_m]Jonah[/name_m] and [name_m]Eli[/name_m] as brothers? And what impression do you get off the names? Is it too Old Testament…?

If we do go with [name_m]Eli[/name_m], I have no idea what to pair it with. I can’t use any of the first names that came to my mind - [name_u]James[/name_u], [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m], [name_m]Joseph[/name_m], or [name_m]Christopher[/name_m]. What do you think?

I agree–they sound great together. [name_u]Elias[/name_u] nn [name_m]Eli[/name_m] would work too.

I like [name_m]Eli[/name_m] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] and [name_m]Eli[/name_m] [name_m]Christopher[/name_m] from your list, though you can’t go wrong with [name_u]James[/name_u] or [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] either.

Good luck!
