Eloï

Good vibes only
I just saw the name Eloï mentioned somewhere.
Is that a boy's or a girl's name?
I think Eloïse is beautiful for a girl and know Eloi for a boy, pronounced like Ielooi. But Eloï, so Ee-loo-ie, in French. Can that work too?

    Yes, Eloi exists as a boy's name and Eloï as a girl's name.
    I don't personally know the boy's name, but for the girl's name you pronounce it as , so indeed Eloïse without the 'se'.

    By the way, you can also find the name Eloï for girls on the Zee van Namen website, complete with meaning, comments, description, popularity, how often the name is given in the Netherlands, etc.

    In the "how do you pronounce it as" section, I had written 'eeloowie', but since it was in parentheses, it apparently wasn't visible. But that's how you pronounce Eloï as a girl's name.

    Yes, Eloï is nice for girls!

    I find it funny that the name looks so short and smooth, while when you say it out loud it's actually so beautiful and elegant! That contrast makes the name special.

    Soïse
    Elione
    Louise
    Elysée
    Aloïse
    Rosise
    Esloë

    Yes, I think it's really beautiful! Now I just need to gauge my husband's opinion
    By the way, I did a bit more searching online and for a boy, you also have Elois. I like that one too!
