What do we think of Elliott?

I am really hoping this DC2 is a girl because I cannot find a boy's name that I love and that my DH will agree to. I love Arthur but he is not sold on it. I also adore Edward but again he doesn't love it. Other options are Hugo or Felix but I am just not sure if they are right?

I proposed Elliott this morning and he quite liked that. The other one my Mum suggested was Hector but I don't think that is for me. I love it but it's a little harsh for my taste.

However, Elliott is softer but still a little old-fashioned. DS1 is George.

We find out in a week whether it's a boy or girl and perhaps this will be moot.

FYI - it's a girl, we think we will settle on Laura.

Thoughts, ideas, comments - all welcome!

I like Elliott, it reminds me of Elliot on Scrubs :)

I love Elliott and Arthur. Both are on my list if I can't persuade my partner on Caspar.

Love it! That was going to be our name if we had a boy.

I lurve Elliott but also would spell with only the one t at the end. In terms of shortening normally I like names that have the potential to be shortened but I feel Elliot, even though it's 3 syllables, rolls off the tongue so easy it won't be a problem.

I have an Elliot and we use Ells as a nn. I love the name and think it is classic but not overused.
