Elliott or Oliver?

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!) :)

Elliott, has the edge of being slightly unusual.

Elliott. I'm feeding my 4.5 month old one right now. Far too many Oliver/Ollies!

I have an Elliott-named after Elliott smith!

Oliver. More classic somehow.

I like both. Oliver is more popular but Elliott has more than one spelling so each have their "downsides". Elliott is a bit more commonly used than Elliot.

I think Oliver is currently most popular boys name if that matters to you at all.

Elliott, it's always been on my lists. :)
