Boy:

Elmo (can we? I love Elmo Gabriel ... ....-....) Do children know who Elmo is nowadays? Do you know who Elmo is (I didn't and neither did DH)?
Gabriel (too popular?)
Anton (nice, but isn't it a bit boring...?)
Elric
Clinton (I love the name. But I think it will have to remain a guilty pleasure, right?)

Girl:

Erica (my favourite)
Susannah
Helena (my 2nd favourite girl's name)
Louisa

Then the patchwork elephant with body dysmorphia who is actually called Elmer but I always forget

Is this also a character of a show...?

There's loads of people called Bert or Ernie.¨

But these are more commonly used names than Elmo, right?

My first thought is the red puppet (I too can do an impressive impersonation of him singing Elmo's World). Then the patchwork elephant with body dysmorphia who is actually called Elmer but I always forget

You can still use the name.

There's loads of people called Bert or Ernie.

Everyone knows who Elmo is.

WHY?? He's apparently just a red puppet... (Yes, I'm a bit annoyed. I thought we had the perfect name....)

My children know who Elmo is. They are 5 and 8. I prefer Gabriel though.
Love Louisa.

Everyone knows who Elmo is.

I can do a really good impression.
