Elliot - classless?

[barca123]

Do you think of Elliot as classless? And do you like it? Be kind -my brain is fried!

I think it's a cracker of a name.
'nn' potential - Beau or Beaudy, or even Den
Fits in with Jayden, Kayden, Brayden trend
Nod to poshness - Johnnie Boden
Less stuffy than Beauregard, Beauchamp, Beaumont, Beaufort...

What's not to like?

Best bloody name in the whole wide world.

Ffs this is the 21st century. Why on earth are we talking about fucking class!

I'd also agree verging on the lower middle class side of things

:)

Because the OP asked whether Eliot was ‘classless’? I don’t know why people get so cross abouttalking about social class. The UK is still a very class-bound societ (I’m not originally from here), and just how ingrained that is very obvious on the baby names board. I agree it’s depressing social class consciousness still exists, but there’s no point in refusing to talk about it and hoping it will vanish.

In my mind, Henry, Elliot, Jack are all similar names. I work in construction and there are a lot of the trades that have those names (loads of Henry and Jacks, only met two Elliots). I think you can be a chimney sweep or CEO with any of those names and wouldn’t sound out of place.

Lovely name. Was on my shortlist...

I think you can be a chimney sweep or CEO with any of those names and wouldn’t sound out of place.

Surely you can be a chimney sweep with ANY name? And become a CEO with ANY name..?

Not from school friends no. We call him Els occasionally

It's a nice name and I'd not associate it with any class. Doesn't exactly roll off the tongue with Henry but doesn't sound bad either

@Reddahlias , yes, but wouldn't you be a bit surprised at a CEO or chimney sweep called Shadaunae-Leee or Thunder?

No not at all and Not more than meeting a president called Obama...or how about Condoleezza?

If you say so, @Reddahlias .
Obama is his surname not first name.

Sorry I meant Barrack

You are comparing the names of successful mixed race politicians in the USA with a standard British name. They don't compare fairly, IMO, because of cultural differences between the two countries.
