Elliott
I think! I can understand your problem here. Yes, Elliott.

Lindy2 · 13/09/2019 19:57

I prefer Elliott.
It seems to look more right written down to me.
It's one of my favourite boys names.

SillyBub · 13/09/2019 19:58

My DS has 3 friends with this name. They are all Elliot.

Baguetteaboutit · 13/09/2019 19:59

Elliot, I think some people prefer the tt to balance the ll, but I think it looks like a surname.

ElizabethMainwaring · 13/09/2019 19:59

Yes, it's a lovely name.

bridgetreilly · 13/09/2019 20:03

Elliot.

Raahh · 13/09/2019 20:08

Elliot. Mine is 16.
Like Baguette, I think the double 't' makes it look more like a surname.

Sunshineys · 13/09/2019 20:57

Elliot

123Dancewithme · 13/09/2019 21:59

Elliot. I agree about the double t making it look more like a surname.

Lemoneeza · 13/09/2019 22:01

Elliott. lovely name.

MissTicPizza · 13/09/2019 22:01

Elliott

DramaAlpaca · 13/09/2019 22:50

Elliot for a first name, Elliott or Eliot for a surname.

CarpeVitam · 13/09/2019 22:52

Elliott

gothicsprout · 13/09/2019 23:01

Elliot is slightly higher up the ONS most popular names than Elliott, which is how we chose - wanting to get the more common spelling.

AverageMummy · 14/09/2019 06:54

Elliot looks more like a first name & Elliott more like a surname

Frith2013 · 14/09/2019 10:21

My dad always called The House of Elliot (TV Show) The House of Idiot so both are a no from me!

MissHenty · 14/09/2019 10:25

Like both spellings

Just wanted to say well done for choosing such a lovely name

Pinkarsedfly · 14/09/2019 10:29

Elliot. Mine is 21

Pinkarsedfly · 14/09/2019 10:30

Just to warn you - people do often give him the double T including one particular family member who I’m sure does it on purpose

foxtiger · 15/09/2019 13:37

Elliott - I think either two of both or one of both, but Eliot is rare and would be misspelt a lot.
