Help with my boys shortlist!

[JofRac]

I'm 30 weeks now and we have picked either Esme or Iogen for a girl, but are totally stuck for boys!

We always like Jem but have been put off recently with lots of negative comments. It's from To Kill a Mockingbird which I read at school and fell in love with.

Please let me have your opinions on the following:
Jem
Ellias
Elijah
Theo Jude

(I also really like Ralph, Orson and Albie but hubby doesn't agree)

Thanks!

I loveee the name Elijah. Someone ik named her son Elijah Wyatt. and I loved it. Theo Jude sounds really nice, and Jem I have to say is really cute. Mybe Elijah Jem? or Elijah Jude? or Jem Orson but that kinda sounds like a first and last name.

 

[JofRac]

Thanks for the advice and I'm really glad you like Jem! As Elijah and Ellias would be Eli I'm not sure Eli Jem goes so I might get stuck with a middle name - maybe Eli Jude?

Elijah or Elias Jude . Love Eli as a nn . Love Albie too . xx

 

[LunaRose]

I picked Elijah, it's my OHs favourite name xx

 

[NGRidley]

I voted Theo Jude..... but I kinda like it better as Theodore Jude (theo for short)

I was stuck between this and Elijah

I voted Jem, you obviously love this name and you should go for it. You could always name him Jeremy and use Jem as the nickname (probably what it's short for in To Kill a Mockingbird)

 

[RubyRainbows]

Voted for Elias -- but also like Elijah -- Elijah Jude sounds very nice together!

Jem Elijah sounds really cool for when hes older but really cute for when hes younger. xx

I like Theo Jude

 

[Embovstar]

I really like the names Theo and Jude, just not together...I'd be inclined to save it should I have another little boy in the future!!

I love Elijah! Are you aware though that Jem is a nickname for Jeremy?

Jeremy Elijah (nickname Jem) is beautiful!

 

[JofRac]

Hi Luciforms - yeah I know it's usually a nn for Jeremy or James but it can also be alone. I don't really like Jeremey and James is a bit popular but I love Jem!
