elliot is great

Elliot, lovely, under-used imo

serendipity16 · 23/11/2011 08:39

I love Eli - It's on my list if i'm ever lucky enough to be pregnant again.

comedaygoday · 23/11/2011 08:37

Eli definitely. Is a lovely name and even better would be to use Elijah or Elias with Eli as the nn.

Don't really like Elliot. Think it sounds a bit weak and.imo is too.unisex.

Ohhh exciting 6 votes each!!

But I like your idea ImpYcelyn.

We like ELi, beacuse it's from Swedish book/movie (Let the right one in). It's such a sweet and pure movie. Eli is a quirky girl who develops a special friendship with a neighbour boy Oscar. Oscar doesn't know that Eli is a vampire. Both children are different then 'normal' children so they find a friend in each other. And that's exactly how me and DP felt when we met, and still do; not fitting in the masses and finding your then finding your equal.

Like Eliott.

GwendolineMaryLacey · 22/11/2011 19:46

Ls and Ts ffs.

GwendolineMaryLacey · 22/11/2011 19:46

Although as I've just proved, there is the "how many Ls and Is issue..."

GwendolineMaryLacey · 22/11/2011 19:45

Elliott. Lovely name :)

AnaisB · 22/11/2011 19:32

I much prefer Eli, but may be biased because of an Elliot I used to know.

mayanna123 · 22/11/2011 19:13

Another vote for Elijah, nickname Eli.

I know a female Elliot and also think that the nickname Ell or Ellie is too feminine.

cheeseandmarmitesandwich · 22/11/2011 19:10

I vote for Elijah, NN Eli

cheeseandmarmitesandwich · 22/11/2011 19:10

I vote for Elijah, NN Eli

ChippingInNeedsSleep · 22/11/2011 19:10

Elliot :)

You can always change your mind and nn Eli if you want.

IHeartKingThistle · 22/11/2011 19:09

I have an Elliot. It's a great name.

Richlinn · 22/11/2011 19:09
