We are thinking Elliot Finn? Elliot Matthew?

However, our favourite is Noah. Opinions?

I like Elliot Finn

tellmeofthetime · 11/02/2016 22:33

My opinion is that Noah is very common recently, Finn is short for Finlay, Matthew is nice, so is Elliot, neither have ever grabbed me but it is just my opinion.
If those are your choices, I prefer Finlay Elliot, or Matthew Finlay.

Finn might end up a bit overused since The Force Awakens came out.

Also prepare to meet a few Amreys..

Finn isn't short for Finlay, it's a name in itself.

I like Elliot Matthew best from your list.

If your favourite is like Noah, is there a reason why you can't use it, or is its popularity putting you off?

Love all of those names, I have a Noah, a Finn and a Sam. Sam's middle name is Elliot but my husband wouldn't have it as a first name as we are countdown fans and only one more T and it's an anagram of toilet Grin

LogicalTest · 11/02/2016 22:43

(We spell it with one L...)

LastGirlOnTheLeft · 11/02/2016 22:44

NOT Eliot! Eliot (or Elliott whatever) always reminds me of that obnoxious little shit who rang Going Live to have a go at Five Star! Bleugh!

I love the sound of Noah but its the religious connotation that put me off only...goodluck. I have found Elliot does get shortened to Ellie when they are young, which obviously may not be problem x

Walshie123 · 12/02/2016 12:08

I LOVE all these names!

DS is Noah... So I would pick that Grin

If we have a 2nd DS, he'll be Elliot!

Love Finn and Matthew too.

Elliot Finn/Matthew would be best - I like the double letters! :)

Scotishlass · 12/02/2016 18:55

I love the sound of Matthew Elliott.

jaggythistlez · 12/02/2016 19:56

Elliott Finn.

...or Eliott Matthew.

But Elliott. Love it but DH wasn't keen.

Sophronia · 12/02/2016 19:58

The only one I like is Matthew. Matthew Finn would be quite nice.

Strokethefurrywall · 12/02/2016 20:02

Elliott Finn

CPtart · 12/02/2016 20:08

Any combination of the others but sorry, I detest Noah.
Matthew is probably my fave.

RiverTam · 12/02/2016 20:13

Finn - nice, bit blunt
Elliot - lovely
Noah - ok, mega-popular
Matthew - meh

villainousbroodmare · 12/02/2016 21:25

All nice, Noah perhaps my least favourite, Matthew my most.

CharmingChampignon · 12/02/2016 21:44

I like them all but Matthew is the best IMO - it's timeless whereas as some like Noah have become v popular in a short space of time.

I love Elliot. But don't think it has good nn potentials.
Noah is gorgeous
Finn. Is okay.
Matthew is okay but boring. Matt is a good nn though.
