ive been going by the name cyril for like 3-ish years and i still like it but i feel really drawn to the name elijah too. its a nice name and its also what my mom would have called me had i been biologically male. people that im out to know me as cyril and i also have a book signed "for cyril" which makes me reluctant to completely get rid of the name cyril... ...so ive been thinking about maybe going by "cyril elijah". people could call me cyril or elijah or any nickname for either one and i could stop being so conflicted about it. ive felt weird about my name for a while now and this seems like a good solution to me because i could have the name i want without changing too much or anything. the only question is if cyril elijah sounds super obnoxious and pretentious, cool and unique, or a little of both... i can deal with either the second or third options. lol. some of my friends ive talked to said they think it sounds good but im not sure if theyre just being nice because were friends so i decided to go somewhere that people will possibly be honest with me. i want to know the truth but dont be rude about it please im fragile haha

Cyril Elijah sounds better than Elijah Cyril so u have that going for you. If you're uncomfortable definitely do something about it regardless of someone else's opinions. I can't really comment on the "pretentious" nature but I think it's fine, really. Definitely unique but. Fine

It's a little of both, but imo, a lot of good names are, so I wouldn't worry about it. It's a cool name! Elijah's a fav of mine, too. I'm happy you were able to find a way to incorporate it.
