Elliott or Oliver?

[Wondersicles]

His middle name is Russell (my dad's name) - I prefer Elliott Russell, but a lot of the family prefer Oliver Russell. I think Elliott looks better with Russell - they both have 2 double letters (that's why I want Elliott with 2 ts!) :)

Oliver

But it's your child, you get to name him, not your family.

personally much prefer Oliver, and honestly, how often is his name going to be written out in full for you to appreciate the 2 pairs of doubles? However, your child your choice, Elliott perfectly fine too.

Absolutely Elliott but then I'm totally biased - it's my ds's name

Elliott, but then I'm biased as that's ds2's name :)

Oliver. Never been keen on Elliott.

I prefer Elliott Russell. I love Elliott Smith (musician)

Oliver is nice though too

Elliott, not a fan of Oliver. Middle names aren't really a big deal, and it's much of a muchness between Elliott Russell and Oliver Russell.

Oliver

I have a 12 year old Elliot, so definitely biased (one t though). I like Oliver too, but not as much.

Not a big fan of Oliver, I'd go with Elliott which is lovely.

Definitely Elliott. Oliver is a bit blah.

I'm also an Elliott Smith fan.

Elliot

I love Oliver too and that will most likely be DS2, if I have another boy and if I go with Elliott (which I probably will) :)

Love Elliott. There are soooo many Ollies around.

Wonder- excellent choice- Elliot(t)s are great.

Another vote for Elliott - we have a 6mo one sleeping downstairs

Elliots are great. How ever many 't''s they have

Elliot. It just conjures up a really well mannered and polite easy going little boy.

I love Oliver, had it in mind for dd (didn't know the sex at the time) until I realised how popular it is. For that reason, my vote is for Elliot.

Elliott for me.

Elliot definitely. There are so many kids named Oliver now. It's way way too popular. Elliot is much nicer.

Elliott by a country mile, it's my gorgeous DS2 name!

Both beautiful! You can't go wrong!
