which name sounds better?

[dolly5x3]

I've had a hard time trying to pick out a boy name that I like. I've known for sure that I've wanted to use the middle name Joseph after my great grandpa. I have two names I like but can't decide which sounds better with Joseph. They are
Mariano (Mar-E-Ah-no)
Elian (Ell-E-ahn)
which do you think goes better?

I like Mariano Joseph. The two "oh" sounds are nice next to each other.

But I like Elian too, just fyi.

Lol, I think Elian sounds better with Joseph...so I guess no help here! Good luck

Elian.
