Eliot?

[ingelwood]

Am I being a bit weird or is Eliot a lovely name for a girl

Commonly associated with boys, maybe I'm more inclined to like it for a girl as I heard it on Scrubs first!!!

Opinions?

ET connotations for me. I love it but would assume it was a boy.

For a boy, excellent.
How about Elodie for a girl?

Yes, you're being a bit weird. I don't see it as a girls name at all.

It's just a boys' name to me. It doesn't sound right for a girl.

Like scrubs.

It’s not a girls name tho, sorry. Just doesn’t sound quite right.

I do know a female Ellliot, nickname Ellie.

Elliot (not Eliot) is a boys name I think.

I think Ellis is very similar and can be unisex, maybe a better choice?

I would assume Elliot was a boy. Ellis is a nice name for a girl though x

Elliot for a girl is actually quite cool. It’s a bit American, the tradition of giving girls a boy’s name, but I like it. I also like Perry for a boy, from Scrubs as well 😊

To me it is a boys name

I love the name eliot, but dont know if it would work for a girl.
As another poster suggested - ELLIS could be a nice
alternative, and not an overly used name either.

The blonde female doctor in Scrubs is called Elliot, not sure how it’s spelt exactly, but that’s the only time I’ve heard of a female one. It seems American to me, due to that association.

Haha, I need to read OPs more carefully, sorry!

I love it for a girl. DS would have been named it if he'd been a girl.

Nope. Elliot is a boys name. I hate when women misappropriate boys names and use them for girls. Elodea or something else beginning with El.. Look into other options. If it's the ending you like, how about Scarlett? Etc. Keep looking, of if you MUST use Elliot at least give it to your daughter as her middle name.

A lovely name for a boy, on a girl it sounds very American and a bit pointless as there are lots of lovely similar-sounding girls' names: Ellie, Elodie, Eliana.

I actually thought of Elliot for a girl at one point, but I decided against it. I do think it's cute but maybe as a nn. It's not really one of those unisex names

I like it for a girl. (Though I have a boy Elliot!)
I tend to like more masculine names for girls, not because I’m trying to be all weird, far out and try-hard (which people on here often assume), just because I happen to like those names. If ds had been a girl, she would have been Evan. Which incidentally I really dislike on a boy. Weird.

I love it. Never thought of it for a girls name. But now I have I think it's lovely

I love it, but never known a girl called Eliot.

Sorry, thought it was just a typo on Elliot

I have to stop myself saying it in a weird ET voice - sorry

I thought that that TV character (Scrubs?) was only named Elliot because her father wanted a boy?

Definitely a boys' name to me.

Elliot and Ellis are both very trad boys names.

Exactly. It's a boys name in Scrubs - that's the point!
