[Opinions] Nethaniah
I am loving Nethaniah for a boy just now. I doubt I could ever use it, since even Noah and Elijah are unheard of in Scotland, but I think it's just beautiful sounding. WDYT?It would need a nickname, being so long, and I suppose Neth or Nethie is quite sweet. How about these combos?Connell Nethaniah
Aleksi Nethaniah (too long? Aleksi = a-LEK-see)
Harris Nethaniah, after the island
Leo Nethaniah
Pearce Nethaniah
Conrí Nethaniah (Conrí = KAWN-ree, means "wolf king" in Irish Gaelic)
Esmé Nethaniah (EZ-may)
Shamus Nethaniah (maybe too culture-clashy)Nethaniah Rhett
Nethaniah Stephan (STEFF-an)
Nethaniah Henry
Nethaniah Morgan
Nethaniah Storm

I find it choppy sounding - too many sounds. From your other names, I like Henry. As for combos, I think Shamus Nethaniah and Nethaniah Storm flow the best.
