I like Elliott, Elias, Eli, or Leo.

To the PP who suggested Elmo...I have no words.

Just go with your girl name. My cousin Ashley (boy) carries his name well, it is very Gone with the Wind.

I have a friend named "Eliot" (as opposed to the more standard Elliot or Elliott)
I like Elias.

New options:
Elton
Elbert (alternative to Albert)
Elden
Eleazar (frequent full name associated with nickname, Eli)
Elian (can you believe that he's 21 now?)
Elijah
Elion
Ellard
Ellsworth (I have an uncle with this name)
Elmo
Elroy (Jetsons, anyone?)
Elvio
Elwood (and his friend, Harvey)

You can use Elio as the nickname for any of these.

We still had our shortlist from #1. We added 1 name to it. And then tried them out in the 3rd tri. That -really- helped. I immediately knew I didn't want to use a couple of the names. In the end, we had one name that stood the test, so we went with it.

this happened to us too and i actually prefer the second name now, slightly. once they grow into it it all works out.

My #1 is a girl and I can think of many girls names but my #2 is a boy. No name has clicked at all so far.

I do like Leo for OP.

So scared this is going to be me. This actually gives me some hope because I seriously have no idea. The name for our first came so naturally! Why is naming so hard? It's so weird to name someone you don't know!

I still like our first son's name better than his brother's. :/
