Hi all,

after obsessing over many many names I think we've settled for Elliot, which didn't seem very popular - ie didn't go to school with any and didn't know of any or any well enough to tar the name with someone else.

However these past couple of weeks I have heard of a couple of children born called it (unsure if a fluke or what?!)

Do you know any Elliot's? if so what ages?

Thanks in advance

I know a few.

2 of them are 4/5 reception age. One is spelled Elliott though.
Another couple I know are about 7.
I know a two year old and three babies as well.

I know a few

1 is 15

Then I know 3 under 3

It's definitely not the most popular name in our area though. I know as many Woody's as I know Elliot's strangely

Loads in DDs grade one year. One is an utter little bugger as well! Hits DD’s disabled friend. So I could never use the name.

Ethan or Edwin?

There are two in my DD’s nursery group (age 2). But I don’t know any others outside nursery.
I love the name - we considered it for DS.

I have one (almost 3) and there is one other in the school. Both spelt Elliot with one t. I feel that the double t is a bit too surnamey but a lot of people seem to spell it like that before I tell them it’s only one t. I love the name and have always had good responses from it. He’s a lovely little boy though of course 😀

I don’t know any little Elliot’s but do know about 5 who were all born 1987-1992. Perhaps there was a localised spike in popularity where I live around then.

I know 2 baby Elliots and taught a few at the last (high) school I taught at. Seems pretty popular across the ages.
