I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Elijah[/name] for you with your other kids’ (GREAT!) names. It just fits so well and has a great nn in [name]Eli[/name]. Those are all such great names though – it’s a great short list to take to the hospital and pick whichever one fits him the best. Good luck! 
While [name]Julian[/name] is my favorite, [name]Elijah[/name] goes so well with your other boys
I feel like there are a LOT of Elijahs out there lately. [name]Aaron[/name] is a wonderful namesake and matches the overall tone of your other boys wonderfully.
Best of luck!
I picked [name]Julian[/name] before reading that you have a [name]Joshua[/name] and a [name]Joel[/name]. I love [name]Elijah[/name] and [name]Aaron[/name] as well and would prefer those to another j name!
thank you so much!
I like [name]Elijah[/name] the best. I’ve met/come across/know over 25 Elijahs/Alijahs (no joke! It’s everywhere here), but I still really love it. It’s soft and wise and charming and sunshiny, I would love to meet another one. I think [name]Benjamin[/name], [name]Isaac[/name], [name]Joshua[/name], [name]Joel[/name], and [name]Elijah[/name] are great together.
My second choice would be [name]Julian[/name] (love!), although I’m not sure about the alliteration of [name]Joshua[/name], [name]Joel[/name], and [name]Julian[/name]… at the same time, I sort of like it.
I can’t tell you how happy it makes me to get ANY input at all on these names. I so feel at home here because the comments are intelligent and thoughtful. thanks again!
I had chosen [name]Aaron[/name] in your other thread, but this time I voted for [name]Nicholas[/name]. I think both would be great. ([name]Julian[/name] and [name]Elijah[/name] are still too much /j/ for me!) But stylistically, they’re all fine.
I agree with aguafresca-- I voted for [name]Aaron[/name]. It’s biblical but very unique in sound & aesthetics from your other sons’ names. I would stay away from Js, even inner Js like in [name]Elijah[/name], lest little [name]Isaac[/name] feel like the odd man out.
I voted for [name]Aaron[/name].
I like all of the names but felt that there would be too many ‘J’ names with [name]Julian[/name]. [name]Elijah[/name] and [name]Nicholas[/name] are nice but really popular. I know a lot of all different ages.
I like [name]Nicholas[/name] the best but voted for [name]Elijah[/name] becaue I think it goes best with your other names.
bumping up
[name]Elijah[/name] or [name]Nicolas[/name].
I would have voted for [name]Julian[/name] as one of my all time favorites but choose [name]Elijah[/name] instead because you already have to J boys and an I boy.
First vote Eliijah, Second [name]Aaron[/name].
bumping up for more votes
I don’t want to sound repetitive, but I vote for either [name]Nicholas[/name] or [name]Aaron[/name] to avoid the “J” complication.
My all time favorite with your other boys is [name]Aaron[/name]. Good luck
thank you! I really need any comments I can get. I understand the “J” issue :)…
I’m thinking we may go with [name]Aaron[/name] ([name]Nicholas[/name] is my brother’s name and after thinking it over I don’t think I could use it as a first name, although I do love it as a name.
aaron is a great addition to your kids
I agree-- [name]Aaron[/name] is really perfect. It’s familiar to all but not very commonly used, and fits hand-in-glove with your other sons’ names.
