Opinions on the name Eben?

What do you think of the name [name]Eben[/name]? A way to honor an [name]Ebenezer[/name] without using [name]Ebenezer[/name].
Any ideas on sibling names that have the same feel?

I like it, but if you are honoring someone with it, I love it!

I have always loved [name]Eben[/name]! There was a band I loved in high school and one of the members was [name]Eben[/name] D’Amico. It always stuck with me. Definitely use it :slight_smile:

I have an [name]Eben[/name] and a [name]Stuart[/name]. I see [name]Stewart[/name] suggested above, along with [name]Hugh[/name] and [name]Byron[/name], which were on our short list. We also liked [name]Ross[/name].

I know a little boy named [name]Eben[/name] [name]Elisha[/name], and it’s lovely on him. [name]Just[/name] looking at the names in your signature, I really like [name]Eben[/name] with [name]Wyatt[/name], [name]Beau[/name], [name]Veda[/name], [name]Rose[/name], [name]Jemima[/name], [name]Lily[/name], [name]Susannah[/name], [name]Louise[/name], and [name]Sawyer[/name]. I wouldn’t use anything too classic - [name]James[/name], [name]Alexander[/name], [name]Henry[/name] - or anything too strong or sharp to keep his siblings’ names from overpowering his. [name]Archer[/name], [name]Violet[/name], and [name]Georgia[/name], for example, overpower [name]Eben[/name].

I think [name]Eben[/name] is a fine name but I feel like he (and you) will constantly be saying, ‘no, not [name]Evan[/name], [name]EBEN[/name]’. If you are OK with that I say go for it!

[name]Love[/name], love, love it!
