If it's what you like then chose it.

Grace Eloise Carter is beautiful.

KatOnATinRo0f · 15/03/2016 21:56

I like it. I'd probably spell it Elliott though. I have a boys name... Well a unisex name that was more common in the US than in the UK. Now 30 years later there are a few little girls with my name I've heard called of. The only other person I've actually met with my name was a 10 year old boy. I was way more excited about this fact than he was. I liked being a bit different.

Can't not see it as a boys name I'm afraid. Elodie's cute though as others have suggested and makes a nice change from the many similar Ellie types!

RockUnit · 15/03/2016 20:16

Grace Eloise Carter would be a lovely name Smile

MargotLovedTom · 15/03/2016 19:57

She won't hate you, it's hardly an outrageous name and you're not calling her Snotface Skidmark or something. There are unisex names and it's not a big deal.

I know, but I'd hate for her to grow up hating us because of the name! And I'd also hate for everyone to assume she's a boy before they see her

Does Grace Eloise Carter sound okay?

Don't be daft - do not choose your daughter's name on the basis of what people say on here! If you and the baby's dad like Elliotte best then go for it. It's your baby. As I said, I know an Elliotte and it doesn't seen to do her any harm.

Sophronia · 15/03/2016 19:48

I prefer Grace to Kiera

I think it's better Kiera and Grace then! Thanks all, for putting me straight

Stop making names up!

Grace is nice.

AliciaMayEmory · 15/03/2016 19:34

I think Kiera Carter sounds lovely! Rolls off the tongue!

mrsschu · 15/03/2016 19:02

Oh dear, Elliotte is not a good name... As PP have said, it looks like you're attempting to "feminise" Elliott. In any case I don't like surnames as first names. I also have a bit of an issue with "unisex" names as most of them seem to have started life as boys' names and then become unisex. But the opposite seems to rarely, if ever, happen e.g. You don't find boys being called Harriet or whatever.

OSETmum · 15/03/2016 17:40

I like Eliette! And Ciara. If unusual is what you're going for then Grace is too common but Eliette Grace or Eliette Rose are lovely.

SoupDragon · 15/03/2016 17:27

Elliotte is just as horrid as a first or middle name.

BabyGirl12345 · 15/03/2016 17:05

We have come across Grace. How about Grace Elliotte Carter? Hmm

OP posts:
Sophronia · 15/03/2016 16:58

Ciara Carter would be nice

albertcampionscat · 15/03/2016 16:05

Please not Elliotte. Might as well go for Nigella. Or Jasperina.

Keira is fine.

RockUnit · 15/03/2016 16:04

This is Elliott Carter.

Adding a "te" to the end doesn't make it a girls' name IMO. Same goes for Finley/Finleigh.

I think these would sound good with your surname...

Harriet
Louisa
Laura
Olivia
Sophie
Phoebe
Lucy
Niamh
Zoe
Grace
Imogen
Ava
Stella
Abigail
Nia
Megan

So it has a feminine feel

OP posts:
Questionsagaintoday · 15/03/2016 15:56

What?

And what's with the desire to spell names differently?

Hi I am Finley. (On phone with a call centre)
You spell it ...

Why just why

expatinscotland · 15/03/2016 15:52

Kiera.

NOT 'Elliotte' or any other spelling of this boy's name for a girl.

Ilovegummibaers · 15/03/2016 15:49

I think Elliotte looks more feminine and I would also pronounce it differently (emphasis on last syllable). Kids nowadays are pretty open minded about different names and there is certainly nothing teaseworthy about Elliotte.
