Edward or Elliot ??

[batsforlashes]

Well.....:-)) it looks like a straight up choice between the two !

They are both great names. I think Elliot has the edge for me, but only because I'm not so keen some of the NNs for Edward. Don't like Ed and Eddie at all, but Ted and Teddy are good if possibly a little cute for an older child.

Edward. Elliot's that kid in ET.

I think edward is going to be very popular, what about edwin?

Prefer edward over elliot though?

I'm not keen on either to be honest - mainly because I don't like the nicknames (Ed/Eddie and El/Ellie).

If I had to choose I'd say Elliot, because I find it more interesting and less common than Edward.

Can't you use 'Woody' as a nn for Edward?

I'd go for Edward, I think :)

I love the name Elliot. I'd have considered it for DS2 if it didn't sound so awful with our surname.

Don't have a problem with the boy from ET- think he was very cute ;-). I am in the Elliot camp but my Dh has a preference for Edward due to the fact that he has a whole load of nn's to choose from - most of which are putting me off the name.

Edward. Elliot is horrid.

edgar or igor
cute

Edward...!

they are both nice!
However no nickname i can think of for elliot - (apart from ellie not ideal for a boy)

Elliot.

No definitely Edward. Ted is a lovely name and suits child and adult and I know that for sure!

Edward definately. Elliot's was a bar where I grew up!

Edward for sure, Eddie is very cute for a little boy or Ed when he's fully grown,sounds manly to me!

Another vote for Elliot here. I would have used it for DS2 had it not been for our surname.

Definately Edward.

Elliot- is ds's name.
Doesn't really need a nn, but he gets El if anything,and he is far from girly!

I do, however, also like Edward

Edward, definately.

We have a baby Edward[occasionally Ted] who is absolutely gorgeous :)

Elliot for me ..although Edward is more MN

I really love both - very difficult decision! Either one would be a lovely choice.

Would maybe go for Elliot as it is less popular... but then again I LOVE the nickname Teddy for a baby... so I don't know!

Both gorgeous. DD was going to be Edward (Ned).

Edward!! It's our current top choice. But Elliott also nice. I love Ted and Teddy as nns though.
