Is Elias that unusual of a name that people will always have a hard time pronouncing it for the rest of his life? We didn't think so but the nurses in the hospital and folks at work definitely seem to have a hard time. At the hospital, he was called by various nurses the following: "Ellis", "Elliot", "Isiah", "Tabias", and "Eliza" (yes even Eliza!) but most would just slowly say "Ellllllllllliiiiii.........." and wait for us to pronounce it. Sometimes I wasn't sure if they were saying his naming or doing their E.T. impersonation.
What do you think?

It's a very common name...in Ecuador. Not sure about here. Do you pronounce it El-ee-us?
Just saw your blog for the first time - the kids are beautiful! So glad to see what you're up to!

I love the name; it does seem fairly east-coastal to me, though, and in the big mix of CA it might get some funny pronunciations. Though the Spanish version, e-LEE-ahs, wouldn't be so bad.
