Elliot for a girl, what would be a good middle name

I like Elliot Elizabeth :) and she could so be an author with a name like that!

In complete agreement with BertrandRussell.
So many lovely, lovely girls' names out there and people give their daughters boys' names and surnames

If you really must, put Elliot on the BC and let her be known as Lottie.

Oh and he was so called after Elliot from ET!

I have an Elliot - he's a boy. 99.99% of people will expect and Elliot to be a boy. I would imagine that will become tedious for your daughter over time.

Yes SavoyCabbage I know that about Elliot from scrubs, but did you know there was something like 770 female Elliot's born last year?! I don't care if it's traditionally a boys name, like I said in my opinion it's very feminine sounding and it's my choice as a parent.

There were actually 780 boy babies last year called Elliot. There were only 12 girls named Elliot (Elliot boy vs girl) but as you say, your choice. I like it, reminds me of the little lad from ET.

I like Elliot for a girl but I also love Ellis, Elliot May or Ellis Victoria are what I would choose if I had a little girl now

I like Elliott for a girl and think the following would work well

Elliott Nina
Elliott Alexandra
Elliott Frances
Elliott Eve
Elliott Bethan

Where are you, OP? There were 12 x Elliotts, 8 x Eliotts and 7 x Elliottes in the UK last year. Were the 770 in the States?

I think I would assume she was a boy as I know a couple of boys and seriously considered for ds1 (I'm London) unlike Morgan. But when I met her, I'd think it was pretty cool. Especially with Day. I know a Sunny.

I love Elliot as a girl's name. Beautiful.
My first thought was a two-syllable -a name... maybe...

Elliot Rosa
Elliot Cora
Elliot Zita
Elliot Cara
Elliot Lana
Elliot Jana
Elliot Mona
Elliot Zara
Elliot Jenna

From your list I would say Lucy or Josephine. Louise to me is quite a generic middle-name, as Rose, Grace and May are. (Just to be clear - I do like Louise, Rose, Grace and May as names, but I know lots of people who have them as middle names).

How about Elliot Louisa?

I like it. I'd go with Elliot Edith or Elliot Ann.

I wouldn't assume an Elliot was a boy. Or Morgan, Mackenzie or Robin (but Robyn I'd assume was a girl). I live in Yorkshire if it matters.

So you don't think people will assume she is a boy? Because you live in London?

I think it sounds best with a one syllable name. In my dc school, there are Ellie's galore. I don't know what they're short for! I think Elliot is quite strong and different, Ellie is the opposite - girly and common, so you really need to decide which will be her name, used in school and by friends.

Tbh, middle names are of limited value and I think many of these would do fine, if you want to soften the Elliot with something more feminine. Not fond of Paige.

Elliot Day - I kind of like it, for the reason that it won't sound like a surname, first name mix up - they're both unusual.

Elliot Emmanuelle

There are many names that are unisex and I don't think that's necessarily a disadvantage, it might even be an advantage sometimes e.g. when applying for a job, it avoids gender discrimination etc. Names like Alex, Sam and Chris are so widely used by both men and women for example.

In terms of middle names how about Elliot Jane or Elliot May?

Isn't Elliot on Scrubs called Elliot because her dad only wanted boys?

I have a name used for both boy and girl - never really found it tedious, if anything more amusing when I've turned up at a meeting and not been what was expected - or when someone who clearly doesn't know me rings work or home asking for Mr Q Cucumber.

I love Elliott and honestly find it a bit soft and feminine so personally wouldn't have used it on a boy, it was one of our shortlist for the baby I'm pregnant with but DP has a preference to our other chosen name - Robyn, which I guess is also a boys or girls name too.

People will expect her to be a boy every single time. Which will be utterly, utterly tedious for her.

Why do people do things on purpose to make their children's lives more difficult than they need to be?

Elliot is used as a girl's name in the hit TV show Scrubs. I don't think it sounds any less feminine than, say, Eleanor or Harriet.

I like the sound of Elliot Louise and Elliot Rose in particular.

I was also going to say Elliot Alice

If you want to abbreviate use Lottie rather than Ellie.

A vote for Elliot Grace or Elliot Paige
