Name for my baby boy?

Just found out last week that our little bundle of joy is a boy. We are thinking of the name Stowe Elijah - what do you think?

Update:

Stowe is actually my husbands middle name and that's the name he has always went by. He loves it and really wants to pass it along.

Update 2:

Pronounced Stow with a silent 'e' - Rhymes with No

    I don;t think you should use that. You should use a common name (shown below)

    I think Elijah Stowe sounds better than Stowe Elijah. That way you won't have the problem of calling out "Stowe!" and your husband and son not knowing who you're talking to.

    Ermm..... I prefer Elijah as the first name. I've no idea why you want to call your baby Stowe? is it pronounced Stoe (as in big toe) or is it Stow as in how? It just looks and sounds odd whichever way you put it i'm afraid.

    EDIT just read the additional information, sorry if I offended you or your husband, its just a name i have never heard before and I'm not keen on it personally.

    If he goes by Stowe than I think that would get too confusing! I don't like either of the names but sense it's a name being passed on that's great! ~I LOVE DEREK

    Elijah is fine, but I can't even begin to guess how to pronounce Stowe.

    Not a big fan of Stowe Elijah. I like Carson, Jordan, Justin, Landen, and Braiden. These are kind of unique.

    Elijah is great but Stowe isn't really nice.

    If you have to use it why not use Elijah Stowe? I think it flows better.

    Stowe is not a good name, but I guess the kid is stuck with it.

    Elijah is okay.

    i admire the call Cheyenne for a woman. yet naming a boy Cyrus is like naming a woman Ursyla, there like from outer area or some thing. apart from a boy must be named Hayden, that's what im gonna call my first boy & Breanna for a woman.
