Elliot - for a girl?!

I've been thinking about this name for a while, and recently I've started to think it sounds really pretty for a girl. Am I alone in thinking this? We would probably go for something along the lines of Elliot Pearl/Elliot Grace.

Is this a stupid pregnancy induced idea?

I think in america elliot is used as a girls name. Ok i have seen it on a prog whete a family have an older girl then they had quintuplets? Their elder dd is elliot.

Ok for a girl.i think. My dd has eden as a middle name, that is a name often used for boys as well.

I think since one one of the main characters on the television show Scrubs has been a female Elliot, it has become more widely used for girls.

Also, the nickname Elle or Ellie are very feminine.

I like Elliot Pearl more than Elliot Grace.

Hmm There are many lovely Ellie ish girls' names. I would assume Elliot was a boy.
