Popularity of Elliot

Hi all,

after obsessing over many many names I think we've settled for Elliot, which didn't seem very popular - ie didn't go to school with any and didn't know of any or any well enough to tar the name with someone else.

However these past couple of weeks I have heard of a couple of children born called it (unsure if a fluke or what?!)

Do you know any Elliot's? if so what ages?

Thanks in advance

I know two Elliot's that are about to turn 1.

Drogonssmile · 08/11/2017 07:51

I have a one year old Elliot and I know of a one year old Elliott.

There's one in DD's nursery class, aged 3 or 4. Otherwise, 2 women in their late 20s and there was one at my school, I guess he'd be about 40 now.

I only know one, age 6

LillyLollyLandy · 08/11/2017 07:22

I know a 6 year old girl.

Mine is 12 and named after billy Elliott which I watched while pregnant

It is popular, but it’s a lovely name. Name choices are a lot less concentrated nowadays, so it’s not like there’ll be five Elliot’s in his class.

HettyB · 08/11/2017 06:48

Have remembered I do know another little Elliot - so that’s 3, all aged around 2 years old.

FixItUpChappie · 08/11/2017 06:46

Our son and it seems to be gaining in popularity!

Ionarocks · 08/11/2017 06:42

I know 2 baby Elliots and taught a few at the last (high) school I taught at. Seems pretty popular across the ages.

Alisvolatpropiis · 07/11/2017 22:38

I don’t know any little Elliot’s but do know about 5 who were all born 1987-1992. Perhaps there was a localised spike in popularity where I live around then.

Discusting · 07/11/2017 21:51

Secondary teacher- taught 2 in 10 years. My DS is a 1 year old Elliot. Not come across any others at baby groups and classes yet.

MikeUniformMike · 07/11/2017 21:46

I know several. Different ages. Quite popular. Ellie?

Flower20166 · 07/11/2017 21:06

Hmm. You can fell I haven’t used smilieys on here before now lol

Flower20166 · 07/11/2017 21:05

Oh and the girls name is spelt Elliotte. Because the ‘e’ on the end make sure it oh so feminine [hmmm]

Flower20166 · 07/11/2017 21:04

I know 2. One of them is a girl...why oh why!!!

Chottie · 07/11/2017 18:24

None.

Maincat · 07/11/2017 18:24

I'm a secondary teacher and currently teach 6 across various year groups. So not common but not completely rare!

Freetodowhatiwant · 07/11/2017 16:21

I have one (almost 3) and there is one other in the school. Both spelt Elliot with one t. I feel that the double t is a bit too surnamey but a lot of people seem to spell it like that before I tell them it’s only one t. I love the name and have always had good responses from it. He’s a lovely little boy though of course 😀

HettyB · 07/11/2017 16:18

There are two in my DD’s nursery group (age 2). But I don’t know any others outside nursery.
I love the name - we considered it for DS.

Brighteyes27 · 07/11/2017 15:54

I know of one who is about 14 he is not a pleasant child.

fifipop185 · 07/11/2017 15:52

I know one who is 11 and gets called Ells by his school mates. Have heard of a few others around who are 2-3.

TheFairyCaravan · 07/11/2017 15:52

I know 2 in their early 20s and a 7yo

GoingRogue · 07/11/2017 15:51

I know of two at my son's school, both in Reception (so age 4 or 5) And spelt Elliot.
