I love the name Elliot and it's one of the only names myself and my dh can agree on, but I'm worried that he'll end up being called Smelliot or Ellie or some other stupid nickname. Could someone who has an Elliot verify if this happens? My mum always sees what rhymes with a baby's name to see if they could be made fun of, so I know she'll pick up on Smelliot and say he'll be called that and that's putting me off.
Other names we can agree on (but I don't like as much!) are Elias, Elijah, Aodh (pronounced 'A' - Irish for Hugh), Sebastian (nn Seb), Josiah (but dh's nephew is Joseph, so too similar).
He likes Max, but I think it's becoming too popular. I also like Kellan, Rafe, Arlo, Lane (definitely can't use this though as he'd end up being called Street, or something similar!).
Boys' names are sooooo difficult.
Any other suggestions based on the names we like?
