Thank you every for all of the suggestions!
[name_m]Quentin[/name_m] is my nephews name, but spelt different. [name_m]Charles[/name_m] is my brothers middle. [name_m]Both[/name_m] aren’t usable.
Like:
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Timothy[/name_m]
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Grant[/name_m]
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] - Ok, I said I didn’t like [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] early in the thread, but the more I hear it the more it starts to appeal to me.
Not a fan of:
[name_u]Wade[/name_u]
[name_m]Paul[/name_m]
[name_m]Archer[/name_m]
[name_m]Cole[/name_m]
[name_m]Jarvis[/name_m] - Iron [name_m]Man[/name_m]!
[name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Roman[/name_m]
[name_m]Dermot[/name_m]
[name_u]Barrett[/name_u]
[name_m]Orson[/name_m]
[name_m]Huxley[/name_m]
[name_m]Zeke[/name_m]
[name_m]Holden[/name_m]
[name_m]Wilkie[/name_m]
[name_m]Joseph[/name_m]
[name_u]Monroe[/name_u]
[name_m]Caleb[/name_m]
[name_m]Dennis[/name_m]
[name_u]Rohan[/name_u]
[name_u]Dorian[/name_u]
[name_u]Winter[/name_u]
[name_m]Cohen[/name_m]
[name_m]Graham[/name_m]
[name_m]Christopher[/name_m]
[name_m]Baxter[/name_m]
[name_m]Orlando[/name_m]
[name_m]Atlas[/name_m]
[name_m]Lennox[/name_m]
[name_u]Shaun[/name_u]
[name_m]Marko[/name_m]
[name_u]Max[/name_u]
[name_m]Bertram[/name_m]
[name_m]Levi[/name_m]
[name_m]Alistair[/name_m] - I prefer [name_m]Alasdair[/name_m].
[name_m]Rufus[/name_m]
[name_m]Alessandro[/name_m] - I have [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] in a combination.
I like these names, but not the flow of the combo:
[name_u]Jude[/name_u]
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u]
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m]
[name_m]Samson[/name_m]
[name_u]Rhys[/name_u]/[name_m]Henry[/name_m] - I have this in a combo already
[name_m]Edmond[/name_m] - I like [name_m]Edmund[/name_m]/[name_m]Edmond[/name_m], but I’m not a fan of alliteration.
[name_m]Raphael[/name_m]
[name_u]August[/name_u]
[name_m]Peter[/name_m]
[name_m]Malcolm[/name_m]
[name_m]Lucian[/name_m]
[name_m]Thomas[/name_m]
[name_m]John[/name_m]
[name_u]River[/name_u]
[name_m]Felix[/name_m]
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m]
[name_m]Collin[/name_m]
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Timothy[/name_m] is special. [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] is warm and peaceful, and [name_m]Timothy[/name_m] has a real kindness. The combination is so sweet. I also like [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Samuel[/name_m].
I’m not a fan of [name_m]Duran[/name_m], [name_m]Maxfield[/name_m] or [name_u]Zephyr[/name_u]. I have [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] pair with [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] right now, but I’m not set on it. I don’t like [name_u]Theo[/name_u] by itself. [name_m]Tiberius[/name_m] is a name I call my cat sometimes. I love [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] which is a bit odd because I hate my name([name_f]Danielle[/name_f]).
I’m not a fan of [name_m]Barnabas[/name_m] or [name_m]Gareth[/name_m]. I like [name_m]Eli[/name_m], but only as a nickname and I have an [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] combo already.
I do like [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m], but not with [name_m]Elijah[/name_m]. Something about the flow is off to me. I’m not a fan of [name_m]Boaz[/name_m], Zuriel or [name_m]Uriel[/name_m]. I like [name_m]Samson[/name_m], but not for myself. I love [name_m]Damian[/name_m], but I’m not sure if I would use it for myself or with [name_m]Elijah[/name_m]. I’m definitely thinking about [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Timothy[/name_m]. I used to really love [name_m]Timothy[/name_m], but dislike the nickname [name_m]Timmy[/name_m], so I put it aside. Using it in the middle solves the nickname issues.
Thanks for the suggestions. I think I have a solid six middles that I like. Now I just have to pick one. I’m still looking out for that one name that I will absolutely love with [name_m]Elijah[/name_m]. Keep the suggestions coming!
After a lot of consideration and thought I’m 95 % sure that [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] is my [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] combination. Thank you everyone for putting up with my extreme pickiness and keeping the suggestions coming. It definitely brought some new names to my attention and help me narrow down my choices.
Could you make a list of the names you like with [name_m]Elijah[/name_m], as well as a list of names you like but don’t think sound good with [name_m]Elijah[/name_m]?
It also would help to have some sort of criteria to go off of, as “uncommon” is extremely broad and you seem to be looking for a very specific type of name.

Thank you for the suggestions. I like [name_m]Leopold[/name_m] and [name_m]Damian[/name_m], but I don’t think I would use them. I’m not sure about the flow with [name_m]Damian[/name_m] and [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Leopold[/name_m] might be too ‘L’ heavy.
I also like [name_m]Icarus[/name_m], but more as a guilty pleasure name. I think it’d be really sweet on on cat.
In a past thread/poll I had narrowed it down to four combinations: [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Balthazar[/name_m], [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Perseus[/name_m], [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Augustus[/name_m] and [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Roland[/name_m]. I’ve noticed since that I tend to prefer names that are 3 syllable or more.
Some names Iike, but don’t go well with [name_m]Elijah[/name_m]:
[name_u]August[/name_u]
[name_m]Serafin[/name_m]

[name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] - I love [name_u]Morgan[/name_u], but the flow feels off. [name_m]Eli[/name_m] [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] flows better, but I love [name_m]Elijah[/name_m].
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Conrad[/name_m] - An old combo of mine! Now that I see it again I’m kind of liking it.

[name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Vincent[/name_m] - I like [name_m]Vincent[/name_m], but not with [name_m]Elijah[/name_m].
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_u]Francis[/name_u] - I like [name_u]Francis[/name_u], but not with [name_m]Elijah[/name_m]. I also prefer the feminine variant [name_f]Frances[/name_f].

[name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] - I’m not a fan of [name_m]Rupert[/name_m].
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Gannon[/name_m] - The sound appeals to me, but I always think Teen Mom.
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Peter[/name_m] - [name_m]Peter[/name_m] is growing on me, but it doesn’t flow well with [name_m]Elijah[/name_m].
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Anthony[/name_m] - I much prefer [name_m]Anton[/name_m]. [name_m]Anthony[/name_m] does nothing for me.
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Gideon[/name_m] - I love [name_m]Gideon[/name_m], but not with [name_m]Elijah[/name_m].
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Marcus[/name_m] - Too close to [name_m]Marcellus[/name_m].
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m] - Kind of appeals to me, but I’m not 100%.
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Walter[/name_m] - I like [name_m]Walter[/name_m], but not with [name_m]Elijah[/name_m].
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_u]Wallace[/name_u] - I’m not a fan of [name_u]Wallace[/name_u], though the nickname [name_u]Wally[/name_u] would be sweet.
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] - I like [name_u]Freddie[/name_u] and [name_m]Fred[/name_m], but I can’t get behind [name_m]Frederick[/name_m].
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Thatcher[/name_m] - I don’t like [name_m]Thatcher[/name_m].
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Fletcher[/name_m] - I’m not a fan of [name_m]Fletcher[/name_m].
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_u]Jericho[/name_u] - I don’t like [name_u]Jericho[/name_u].
I think I’m going to bow out and put [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] on my middle name list. I just can’t find a middle that I completely love with it.
