My Noah is 4 and we don't know any at all. There isn't one in the whole of his preschool.

We have a similar taste in names. My older sons are Luca and Elliot. Elliot would have been Elias but our last name ends in S as well and it didn't sound as good. I'm glad we went with Elliot now anyway. I never liked Lucas, also due to the S ending but I found it a little dull also.

QUOTE (~THE~MAGICIAN~ @ 07/05/2012, 02:30 PM) I love Lucas from your list. Not boring at all. It's a strong masculine name. Agree. It's a great name. There'll be nothing boring whatsoever (!) about your baby boy so that's really not a concern.

no-one else has mentioned it so perhaps its just me - but I wouldnt do Emily and Eli as siblings. I dont mind Noah, not that keen on Luca - I like Lucas and better still Luke.

Noah - sounds good with the others Lucas - makes a lovely sibset Luca - seems out of place with the other names Eli - not with Emily I love noah but is it a bit too common nowadays? Lucas/Luke is just as common Lucas is nice but is it a bit too boring? It's nms but don't mind the name and fits perfectly Luca i love but im not sure it goes with our other kids names? I don't think it does either sorry Eli i adore and even Elias with nickname Eli but is it too unusual? Eli is not unusual at all and I quite like the name, but wouldn't use another E name QUOTE (4kidlets @ 07/05/2012, 10:18 PM) no-one else has mentioned it so perhaps its just me - but I wouldnt do Emily and Eli as siblings.

NO it's me too LOL J, Z & E names would be only used as a last resort by me Some J middle names Josh/Joshua James Jase Javier Jago Jarvis Jasper Jude

I have a Lukas (liked this spelling better as it was still a correct spelling-it is the common German spelling, but it is not as common as Lucas. Also I think the k instead of the c makes the name look less boring, and since Lukas is sometimes an extention of Luke, I just thought it better all round)
