Elliot - how many do you know?

[MostShamelessWoman]

And how old are they?

I think we’re pretty much set on Elliot if this baby is a boy but it seems to be popping up more, so after a totally unscientific poll! (I don’t know if this is just the fact I am paying more attention to the name than before. Like when you’re pregnant and see a pregnant woman every other second )

1 who is 11

One, aged 40ish lovely man, quietly confident and charismatic, seems to be a good friend to everyone. He never has a bad word to say about anyone nor they he.

1 he is 2

I know Elliots who are 30, 27 and 2.

None, its a lovely name.

I don’t know any but I like the name.

One who is 79...and absolutely awesome, although spelt with 2 x l and 2 t.

38 and 14

One who is 14 😀

One 30 has BA Hons after his name on FB

I've taught a few, they'll be in their mid twenties now, haven't come across one for at least five years (secondary).

All nice boys, one was a bit of a 'character' but likeable enough still. I think it's a nice name!

One 30 has BA Hons after his name on FB

, I had a boss who had printed out her own name, followed by BSc Hons, using Microsoft Word and a piece of printer paper and sellotaped it to the reception desk in the gym we worked in. I wouldn't have minded, except everyone kept calling me Julie, which is not my name.

Nothing to do with Elliot though, op. I'm sure your Elliot will not do this!!!

One -13 but I can't get past ET !!

Two, a 41 year old man and an 8 year old girl

I don't know any

I think you're safe @MostShamelessWoman - Elliot has remained around the number 80 mark in the official name charts for the past 25 years so it's certainly not about to boom or anything!! I've actually never seen a name hold so steady!? I'm such a geek.

(Elliott with two T's also held steady for 25 years too!)

I know one and he's a bit of a wide boy, but I quite like the name: don't watch 'The Sure Thing' with John Cusack if you're wedded to the name, as the writer of that film clearly didn't like it!

None. I've never taught one either in 20 years!
I think it's a lovely name.

DS is an Elliot and he is 12

I like it as a name. I know one aged 11 and a handful aged about 18months, seemed popular when I had DD.

DD has an unusual name (not top 500) and yet I've met 5 others! Sofs law really.

Actually 2. Another one who is in DS2s class (7)

I only know one, my own, who is six. Apparently there was one in reception last year at school too but no others in the school.

My Elliot really is the loveliest, gentlest, sweetest boy; compliments people when they wear nice clothes, is empathic and kind, managed well with his very difficult younger sister. So for me, it portrays a really lovely boy.

One aged about 18

One who must be about 35, and another who's 5 😊. It's a lovely underused name. Does remind me of e.t though and always want to say the name in his voice 😅

One who’s 17.
I always think of the kid from ET when I hear the name. (Not a bad thing! Great character and great movie) but I do strong associate the name with it. Probably because I know so few irl.

I know 2

One is 14, one is 11
