Thoughts on Elliot Rose?

[DeeDeeF]

Thoughts on Elliot Rose? I'm not sure what other people would think, thank you!

what puppyfat said.

If someone told me their daughter was called Elliot I'd assume the were joking.

Elliot isn't gender neutral h-it's far far more commonly a boy's name. That's not to say you shouldn't use it (although it isn't to my taste) but bear in mind your daughter will always be encountering people who are surprised she's not male.

Elliott is really nice for a girl I far prefer it for a girl than for a boy. Nobody IRL would raise an eyebrow I'm sure.

It's an unusual middle name for a boy but it makes a change from all the people who want to appropriate boys' names for girls.

Oh, wait a minute...

I like it, I do think it is a 'boy' name.

I've always loved Elliot for a girl, along with Ellis. Bit bored with Rose as a mn , seems to be the no brainer, no thought, ' go to' name at the moment,

I love it , it reminds me of Elliot from Scrubs. I think it's nice with Rose too

I thought you were asking about using Rose as a middle name for a boy, sorry.

I love it

I like the name Elliott but would assume the child was a boy if I hadn't met them.

Boy's name. Plenty of nice girl's names beginning with 'Ell' so why would you do this to your child?

I agree with the majority. It is a boy's name for me and if I read that name written down I'd be expecting to see a boy with the surname of Rose.

But could you have Ellie? or another Elle/El type name? Rose is a lovely second name choice x

Elliot from Scrubs ... isn't there some sort of funny backstory about her parents wanting a boy?

Yes, it is. She deliberately has a boys' name.

Elliot Rose is cool. I like gender neutral name. And the nickname El is even more gender neutral, and a sweet nickname. Go for it!

Thanks ravioli! I don't know much about Scrubs but I KNEW there was a reason "Elliot from Scrubs!" wasn't proof that it's a unisex name.

It's a boys name.

Elliott from Scrubs has a boys name because her dad wanted a boy.
Leave off taking pretty boys names for girls- they have enough pretty names! (Yes I have a boy Elliott! )

First thought was of the vegetarian cook books by Rose Elliott (she had a famous one for mothers and babies).

But then thought about Elliott for a girl - and I like it.

I taught a French girl called Elliot, she pronounced it more -otte rather than -ut.

I like Elliot a lot but Rose is so boring.

Elliot is gender neutral

No it's not. Elliot is a boys' name. I would assume that Elliot = first name, Rose = surname.

I like it; I admit I thought 'Rose for a boy's middle name?!' when I saw the thread title at first, but when I think about it I like it for a girl. I do like some boyish girl's names though, IMO they're a million times better than prissy girlie Milly Molly Maisie type names that are so popular. Elliot Rose is cool and there's always the El/Els/Ellie short options which are definitely 'female'.

According to a baby name website I've just had a look at its only origin as a girls name is a TV show whereas the name for a boy is Hebrew in origin. I would worry naming a little girl after a fictional character who was purposefully given a boys name for comedy.
