I love Ivo. Love it.

Elliott

Elliot

Both lovely. Ivo wins.

Never heard of Ivo before! You might get people getting you to repeat it a lot. It also looks like an unfinished name to me!

TimmyNook · 18/01/2022 07:07

I would have said Elliot. One of my DC has it as a middle name. But I now know someone called Elliot who is an absolute bell end. And I hate my kid has the same name as them.

Ivo

Elliot annoys me because every Elliot I know has a different combination of Ls and Ts!

Poundlick · 18/01/2022 07:14

Ivo. I agree with @IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads on the variants of Eliot/Elliott/Eliott etc.

I love Ivo

GuckGuckDoose · 18/01/2022 07:46

Ivo! Have only ever met one but have loved the name ever since.

Elliot

Ivo

Definitely Ivo. El(l)iot(t) always looks like a surname to me. DD would have had Ivo as a middle name if she was a boy.

SmallElephant · 18/01/2022 08:17

Elliot

HeronLanyon · 18/01/2022 08:22

Elliott - Ivor better than Ivo to my ear.

BluebellsareBlue · 18/01/2022 09:19

Ivo? Noooo! Elliot is much better.

I feel it's like Hugo all over again

HPLikecraft · 18/01/2022 10:39

I like both names, but am interested in how you'd pronounce Ivo... would it be ee-vo or eye-vo? I've come across both (prefer ee-vo personally)

LittleGwyneth · 18/01/2022 10:50

I love Ivo.

Ameanstreakamilewide · 18/01/2022 10:52

@piggie88

Which one do we go for?
Is it pronounced 'Ee-vo' or 'Eye-vo'?

Either way, Elliot's much better.

LavenderRosemary · 18/01/2022 10:56

Elliot

4kinell · 18/01/2022 11:56

Ivo is much nicer

ElliotGoss · 18/01/2022 12:00

Ivo. Only ever met one.

getsanta · 18/01/2022 12:01

Elliot 100%

BettyBlue50 · 18/01/2022 15:20

Elliot!
