I'm not pregnant, but my sister is, and she doesn't know what she's having, but she has chosen names. For a boy she's chosen either Jeremiah Elijah or Elijah Jeremiah. I was just wondering your guys' thoughts? Personally, I think the names sound too similar but if anything Elijah Jeremiah would flow the best. I was just wondering if some of y'all thought the same thing or had other opinions.

 

She's also now chosen the name Giovanni Elijah or Giovanni Jeremiah. Not too sure I'm too fond of these either haha.

You're right! There's too much of a repeating 'I' sound in both Jeremiah Elijah and Elijah Jeremiah and I think it could be a bit of a tongue twister. I have a slight preference for Elijah Jeremiah like you because it sounds marginally better. Giovanni Elijah sounds nice enough though it's not my style but Giovanni Jeremiah has a heavy repeating 'J' sound. :)

They are a tad rhymey, but not as bad as like Haley Kaley would be haha. Elijah Jeremiah would be my favorite of the options above. :)

I agree that Jeremiah Elijah or Elijah Jeremiah are way too rhymy and repetitive together.  Giovanni Elijah is much better flow-wise.  Giovanni Jeremiah is a little too repetitive in my opinion as well.

 

Has she considered Eli Jeremiah?  That eliminates the rhyming issue.

Elijah Giovanni would be a super cool option, still using Elijah in the fn spot but giving a different mn than Jeremiah.
