What do you think of Elliot?

[littlemslazybones]

I like this name and am considering naming ds3, due Jan, Elliot. When I have mentioned this to some family members they pull a face while saying 'oh really? Er, that's nice'. What are they thinking that they haven't got the balls to say to a hormonal pregnant woman? Am I missing something?

Alis- that's my theory exactly!

Watch the film 'The Sure Thing'. Personally, I'm a bit on the fence about it, although a good friend's son is Elliot and he's lovely, which helps.

Hah! squoosh beat me to it!

I love it.
I think it's a strong name. Unfortunately, DP doesn't like it :( back to the drawing board!

I don't really like it, its a surname to me
but if you like it, ignore me!

Elliot - I think it's fabulous!

Nice name but the short forms El or Ellie sound a little feminine imo.

I know 2 Elliot's. When I first heard it I was a bit unsure, but it has really grown on me. I think it's one of those names that you rarely hear outside of baby and toddler groups which makes people a bit [hmmm]. I do think it has become more popular of late if that concerns you

We know one who goes by El, which sounds like Elle so quite feminine.

i'm not keen on surnames as names. i also have a suspicion it might become the Brett of this generation, i know a few.
