Boy names starting with E?

[Molck]

Any suggestions? I'd rather avoid overtly Christian-sounding names, but I'm not totally closed to the idea.

DH and I scanned through the entire list of masculine E names on behindthename.com last night, but we're still at a loss (not sure why E; this was DH's idea).

[NatureMama3]

Earl
Eathen
Eric/Erik
Edward
Evan

some older ones:
Elmer
Ernest
Eugene
Edmond
Emmett

[Sharlla]

I heard Elvin which I thought was kind of cute.

[jaceycat24]

if i have a boy his name will be elijah ethan but those are both from the bible. i wasn't going for an E name just kinda liked the meaning of both.

[Nate'sMama]

Ethan & Elijah
would be my two faves as well.

[chirp]

Emilio is one of my favorite names, but not G's, so alas, no Emilio.

Our baby's name is going to be Eion (like Ian, but the gaelic way instead of the germanic way). You can steal it if you want, but if we ever see him, we're staking claim (not on him, on the name)

My nephew's name is Elliott, I love it.

I also love Ethan.

Eli, Elias, Elijah and Ezra are all cute, but are biblical.

Ellison and Emerson are kind of cute. Emery, Emmett or Everett are kind of cute too.

And of course there is Eric, but that reminds me of my generation.

We have a bumper crop of Ethans around here, in case that matters to you.

Popping in from August We're going with Elias, but another one we liked was Erasmus, it's Greek meaning beloved; we also liked Emmett.

[finn'smama]

Earnest and Elliot are my favourites

[Nate'sMama]

Elliot of course what was I thinking.
Elliot!!

[Galatea]

Eric would be unusual now! Dh's friend Erich (cool spelling) says there is no way to make fun of the name.

[lovingmommyhood]

I was wondering when you were going to show up! Thought maybe you had your bub!

I like Everett & Ezekiel (sorry, I know it's Biblical)

[Tizzy]

Ephraim (like eff ram)

Emmett

Emil

[PassionateWriter]

popping in from october..im partial to Ethan.

[babysanchez614]

Eden
Emmanuel - i really like this name for some reason..also emmanuelle for a girl.
Ellis
Eishlin
Espen

[Molck]

thanks ... keep 'em coming! I'll have to go over some of these with DH tonight-- lots of good ideas here.

Eric is my dad's name, which would be cool, but it was also DH's (annoying) college roommate who incidentally looks just like the bad guy on Heroes, so I think that's a no go for us.

Speaking of Emery, I heard a great name on TV the other night: Emre (it's Turkish, sounds about like Emery/Emory), but DH vetoed it...

I really like Emerson, but I worry he'd get called Em, and then Emily ... Irrational probably.

Okay; I'm going to add some of these to our list.

[adtake]

Elliot
Ellison
Edison


good luck!

[Breeder]

Elias and Elijah are in our name list. Love them! (We're taking five to the hospital and we're just going to see what he looks like)

[natty529]

my friend's little boy is named Elias- i think it has greek roots
there is also Elan (hebrew)
and Ephram/ Ephraim

i was trying to think of a few names that no one said yet...
