Need a boy name fast!

I am being induced on Friday and we still have no name! I have already have a son named Ethan William and a girl named Ella Page. We don't know the sex of this one but I really think it is a boy. If it's a girl her name will be Sophia Grace, but we really need a boy's name. I'm not sure if we want to stick with the E's or not. I really like Elliot, but wasn't sure if it sounded silly since we have an Ella. Any ideas?? The middle name will either be Conor or Garrett (family names). Thanks for the help!!

Eliot is a too close to Ella IMO

What about:
Elijah, nn Eli
Elias, nn Eli
Eli
Easton
Edward** Edward Garrett is a good combo
Emmett
Everett** Everett Connor sounds nice

Since Sophia doesn't start with an E maybe:
Anders/Anderson
Asher
Andrew
Bennett
Beckett
Benjamin
Colin
Carter
Cole
Dean
Caleb
Luke
Lucas** Lucas Connor
Thomas
Seth
Oliver
Max
Gage
Miles
Troy
Graham** Graham Connor
Quentin** Quentin Garrett
Harris/Harrison** Harrison Connor

Good luck,
Brooke

I definitely think you should stay away from Elliot - it's a nice name but WAY too similar to Ella! I also think you should steer clear of "E" names.

How about...

Ryan
Christian
Cole
Colby
Chase
Matthew

Congrats on your new baby this friday! Hope everything goes well.

I would not use Elliott w/ Ella - too close. Plus Elliott and Ethan (I love the name Ethan) seem mis-matched

Here are some other E names for a boy

Evan
Ean
Edward
Erik
Easton

Eric
Everett
Emmett
Wyatt
Blake
Gavin
Adam
Cameron
Nolan
Brady

HTH!

With Ethan William and Ella Page ...

Elliot is much too close to Ella -- especially considering the female Elliots that use Ella or Ellie as a nn -- but Oliver has always had a similar feel to me (although I'd avoid the nn Ollie).

Asher or Isaac would be wonderful brothers to Ethan, however, and aren't too similar to either of your children's names. ;) Jude would also work well.

Sophia is a lovely choice with Ella, btw.
