Just that really! DH and I expecting a little girl in November and struging with girls names. DH really likes elliott for a girl, she'd be Ellie for short. Or the other name weird is Edith and she's be Edie for short. Thoughts please Smile

Edith is really nice. I'm not a fan of Elliot sorry. It'll definitely be a marmite name for a girl.

Boy's name, definitely. To use for a girl just daft. Especially if you're intending to call her 'Ellie' anyway, for which there are numerous long names which are actually female (Eleanor, Ella, etc,).

It's a boy's name. And Ellie is sooo commonplace.

My son is Elliot. It's a boys name isn't it?

Yes! I almost went for Elliot, I love it Grin. We went for another traditionally thought of male name (though I think it actually sounds very pretty) for our daughter because it 'matches' the other two DC's names.

Yeah we were huge fans of scrubs and liked Elliott for a girl! A few people have said it's a boys name but I like some boys names for girls like andie, Dylan, joey! I really can't make my mind up if I prefer Edith or Elliott ahh! Just trying to see what people think. I love Martha but other half not so sure!

The Elliot in Scrubs was so called because her father wanted a boy. Edith is lovely.

ems942 · 18/07/2015 23:04

Yes! There was an Elliot in Scrubs so a lot of people will recognise it as a female name. Go for it!

Elliot is a boy's name. There are about a gazillion little girls called Ellie.

Edith and Edie are much nicer.
