I think it sounds awkward and people will always be calling him Eli.

Reply:I had to look THREE (3) times b4 I realized it was not el-ROY!? You can BET that the majority of other people thruout his life will do the same. They'll misspell it Elroy %26amp; call him Elroy. (%26amp; peers will tease by calling him Alloy, asking about his dad, George Jetson, %26amp; Jane, his wife), etc.





babyhill said Elijah *** gorgeous!! My FAV male 'e' name, has biblical meaning, %26amp; isn't over used either! PLEASe if yu're naming a child, name him Elijah!


eloy is NOT good!
Reply:I have to be honest here and say I much prefer the name "Ely" [ee-lye] or even better - Elijah [ee-lye-sha]! Eloy doesn't appeal to me, but these are similar versions that do. I love the meaning though :]





Ely- means 'the Lord is exalted'


Elijah- 'the Lord is my God'





...quite Biblical meanings here, but I still like the names very much.

Reply:The first thing you should ask yourself when naming a child is will it be used to tease them at school. My name is different and I suffered terribly. But then again people name their kids really strange things these days ... so at the end of the day it is what you like.

Reply:I gotta be honest, I don't like it....It sounds kinda....OOH i DON'T KNOW...wrong.
Reply:Eloy is a name of French Saint.


It is pure, simple and undiluted name.
Reply:I hate it. It's somewhere between Eeyore and Elroy.


Eli or Elijah is a much better choice there but if you love it then go for it.


Eloy makes me think of a chubby, shorter fellow.
Reply:Honestly I would not be my choice but I guess it's alright...it has a nice meaning...





Good luck x
