Elliott or Oliver?

His middle name is Russell (my dad's name) - I prefer Elliott Russell, but a lot of the family prefer Oliver Russell. I think Elliott looks better with Russell - they both have 2 double letters (that's why I want Elliott with 2 ts!) :)

Oliver

Elliott, not a fan of Oliver. Middle names aren't really a big deal, and it's much of a muchness between Elliott Russell and Oliver Russell.

I prefer Elliott Russell. I love Elliott Smith (musician)

Oliver is nice though too Grin

Oliver. Never been keen on Elliott.

Elliott, but then I'm biased as that's ds2's name :)

Qwertybynature · 13/11/2015 18:44

Absolutely Elliott but then I'm totally biased - it's my ds's name Smile

personally much prefer Oliver, and honestly, how often is his name going to be written out in full for you to appreciate the 2 pairs of doubles? However, your child your choice, Elliott perfectly fine too.

Oliver

But it's your child, you get to name him, not your family.
