WDYTO Eliud for a boy? It means "God is grandeur".
Do you pronounce it ee-LIE-ud or ely-ood or something else?
Any middle name suggestions?

Thanks

Very Biblical. Almost impractically so.

ee-LIE-ud is how I say it.

You need to go with something less heavy, IMO. Maybe as a MN?

i would pronounce it 'ELL-ee-ud', like Elliot with a 'd'.
i don't really like it much.

My inclination is to pronounce it EL-yud.

I think it looks bad. I don't like it for that reason. The sound is not so offensive.

On first glance I would probably have said eh-LEE-ud or Eh-LIE-ud. I'm not sure I like the 'ud' ending, I much prefer the sound of Elijah.
