Elliot - for a girl?

[DaniellaRose]

What do you think?

Eleanor and Elinor are beautiful girls' names ...

I love it and nearly used it for my DD. In the end I decided against it as she would have the same name (incl surname) as the scrubs character

Would say no but obviously your decision to make

Wasn't there a character in Scrubs called this, and she was only called it as her parents had wanted a son?

Anyway... no!

I would describe it as very American in style

Sorry.

I actually think it's nicer on a girl.

No. Because it's a boys' name.

Just no -boys' name.
What is it with people at the moment wanting to name their daughters boys' names, surnames (Taylor etc. and Slade -yuck). And at the other extreme Lilly-Fifibelle or similar, as if she's a pet poodle or bunny rabbit.

Just give an actual first name suitable for an adult female human FGS.

How about John? Or David?

Elliot is not a unisex name.

I thought this was a joke. If not, I'm naming my boy Selena when he gets here

If I'd had a daughter she'd have been called Bruce

I like it, it sound so more feminine to me anyway!

Éliette is a French feminine name, a form of the male name Élie.

Elliette is a modern English variation.

Elliette sounds like a brand of the pill.

Don't mind Elliot for a girl. And I have a boy one.

No. It's a boy's name.

I know a little girl called Elliot!

I thought Elliot was a girl's name when I first heard it. It sounds so feminine. I can totally see it on a girl.

I really really like it. 31wks pregnant and DP vetoed it

I prefer Ellis

Ellis is also a boy's name (in the top hundred for boys in the UK)

Elliott is very popular as a boy's name round here.

If you want to give a girl a boy's name, then this meets the criteria. And it's quite as bad a Max or James.

At no point did the OP indicate that she was French, or had French family connections.

Thank God your DP has your child's best interests at heart.

Elodie? Eloise?
