Boy names beginning with *E*

I'd like some ideas for a boys name beginning with an e - one issue is no *El* names as we have a DD named Ella.

Of course, you didn't ask, but I'm compelled to write my opinion anyway. I don't like matching initials for kids. Ella alone is gorgeous. Evan, for example, is strong, current, and appealing. Ella with a little brother named Evan takes aways some of the glory of both names.

Another question/point... Do you have two daughters? Does the other one NOT have an E- name? Remember, as siblings age, they DO compare the choices you've made for them.

If you're are wanting their names to "match" why not move to letter F? Or another four-letter name? Or an E- name with the option of nn that doesn't start with E-?

Examples-F- Ella & Finn (adorable), Ella & Frederick, Ella & Fletcher, Ella & Felix, Ella & Fabian

Ex. - four letters- Ella & Finn (again), Ella & Ross, Ella & Hugh, Ella & Dane, Ella & Lars, Ella & Noel, Ella & Joel, Ella & Wade (I LOVE! Of course, these were Scarlett's first two children, may or may not matter), Ella & Liam

Ex. of E-names with nn of another letter- Everett (Rett), Ezekiel (Zeke), Edward (Ned), Ethaniel (Thane)

And finally, here are the E- names(but no short e- sounds with Ella!)- Easton, Emory, Emerson, Emmett, Ewing--- Ethan is too popular.

Hope this helps, and I don't mean to belittle your name style, just wanted to give you another approach to consider.

Evan is a good one, I was going to suggest Eli, but you tongue would always be in knots I think.

NO - I appreciate the thought you put into your post - others viewpoints are very helpful. We are considering an E name b/c Dh and I are both M's and so is YDD and my Sk's are both D's so in the grand scheme of things we were thinking another E would balance things out - maybe not a great idea though. Out very short list of names we both like consists of : Emmett, Gabriel and Isaac - what do you think of any of those? I think Isaac sounds the best with our last name Laurent, but I LIKE Gabriel the best. Oh this name thing could drive me up the wall!!!

Of course, your reasoning for the e- is actually very good! No fair, though, because I LOVE Isaac! And, Ella and Isaac are vowel names, at least. The meaning of Isaac is great, too- "he who laughs". Gabriel has a very good meaning (man of God), and I like Gabe as nn with Ella. Very hip but classic. Emmett is a fave E name of mine. It's not similar to Ella in sound, but does maintain the family balance. Very good choice. I like the short list a lot! Perhaps you'll need to see him to be sure, and the mn you're considering would probably affect my opinion on which name to choose. Good luck and let us know what you decide! Ginger

Isaac Richard Laurent...gorgeous, I love it! It goes beautifully with Ella and McKenna also! :) I like Gabriel, but not with your last name, the L's together don't sound great to me, jmo. Good luck!
