Elliot Rose. What do you think of this name for a girl? Also would you use 2 t's and 2 l's?

Some names are unisex. Not many, actually- and those that are are usually boy's names that people have used for girls - I think it's significant that it very rarely goes the other way- or "new" names that aren't traditionally associated with either gender.

Some aren't. John, for example. Or Susan.

It sounds wrong.

Seeker, true. But if you're having to prepare for a kid having to have the argument and insist it's unisex, I reckon it's probably not.

I love it and was thinking about it myself, but tbh my main concern was people's reaction to it (as has been shown here)! so pretty though!

Absolutely. Particularly if you have to say IT'S UNISEX! in capitals letters!

I think Elliott is a boys name.

Dinosaurdrip · 12/04/2013 09:32

I apologise for the capitals. I appreciate that people are entitled to their opinions but I think in this day and age, when there are so many 'different' names out there and so many 'unisex' names out there there will not be so much nastiness.

I love Elliot for a girl, but am having a boy and am keeping it incase I have a girl next.

I was also going for a Girly middle name. Elliot rose is lovely.

I was preparing myself for some strange looks and opinions, but your baby your choice.
