Names to go with Elliott

[Hummusanddipdip]

DH and I are having a second boy, we used the only name we could agree on for ds and his middle name is our dad's name (they have the same first name)

We've banded names about but can't agree on a name, ds has said he likes the name Elliott, it's ok neither of us dislike it and have agreed it'd be a nice middle name. But we're struggling with names, some that we've suggested are:

Archie (Archer or Archibald)
Sebastian
Calab
Billie

I like Eli and Lloyd
DH like Harry and Louis

Louis would be a nice nod at family as my middle name, sil middle name and both our mums middle name is Louise (can tell we were all born between 1970 and 1995 🤣)

Can anyone suggest anything that we may not have thought of? Or offer thoughts on what we've discussed that may change one or others opinion?

Billie Elliott?!! I wouldn't choose that. Perhaps you don't know the film?!

And do you really mean Louis Louis?

Thomas
Jacob
Hamish

Owen

I'm not seeing paragraphs, so I'm seeing the name Louis Louis, but maybe it's my phone?

My suggestions would be James or perhaps Nathan.

Can't you have Elliott as first name? I like it

Otherwise
Thomas
Joshua
Matthew
William
Alexander

I like Elliot as a first name, also Louis.

Billie (prefer Billy for a boy) Elliot, don't do this.

James
Nate
Hunter

Charles / Charlie. Also Matthew.

did you mean Calab? Caleb is a lovely name, Calab… not so much.

I like Louis Elliott or Elliott Louis best

I like Louis Elliott or Elliott Louis

I also like:

Jude Elliott
Dylan Elliott
Finn Elliott
Owen Elliott
Miles Elliott
Frederick Elliott
Max Elliott
Rhys Elliott
Spencer Elliott
Felix Elliott
Adam Elliott
Henry Elliott
Leo Elliott
Oscar Elliott
Ralph Elliott
Flynn Elliott
Callum Elliott

It's one T in Elliot for a name and 2 Ts if it's a surname

I must admit I hesitated when I wrote it with 2 ts just now

You can’t have Billie Elliott

Elliot with one t better
Archie Elliot or Louis Elliot are nice
Zachary Eliot

I like archer or Sebastian.

arthur elliott
spencer elliott
rowan elliott
joseph elliott

zachary elliott
nathan elliott
tobias elliott
theodore elliott
franklin elliott
leopold elliott
hugo elliott
max elliott

I would never use Billie as people would always assume that's a girl if they see it written down. If you want to use Billy, which I don't dislike, I would put William on the birth certificate.

Elliot is the better spelling. The surname has two t’s.

I would just go with Elliot if you all like it.

I hadn't even thought of Billie Elliott and the movie/musical connection to be honest, I wouldn't do that to a child.

To be honest the only order of names I've even said out loud is Archie Elliot(t)

The Louis Louis is on two separated lines, not sure why it's showing together for some people. It's that dh likes Louis and that Louis would be a nod to middle names of immediate family memebers.

I never knew to tts was exclusively the surname spelling for Elliott, I've worked with children with it spelt both ways 🤷‍♀️

I prefer the spelling Calab to Caleb, but opinion taken.

Thanks everyone :)

I've got an Elliot and I still love the name. We've not come an across an awful lot of people with the same name either.
Mine is Elliot Matthew which I thought flowed well.

Archibald Elliott and Lloyd Elliott are my favourites.
Archie and Lloyd are very sweet.

Others ..
Lexton Elliott - Lex
George Elliott
Darcy Elliott

Just be aware that it will often be spelt in a variety of ways.Have a friend with it as a surname and the removal of letters drives them bonkers.

My son is Dominic Elliot

The film is Billy Elliot. The surname is usually spelt Elliot.
The men and boys I know who have Elliott as a first name use the -tt spelling but one is Eliot.

We have an Elliot James. Absolutely love it, he’s the only Elliot that we know too.

@Hummusanddipdip it can be double t for first name too, theres no right or wrong historically, I have looked it up as considering it too! To me double L double T is the better spelling but its personal preference.

It won't matter which way you spell it, some people will spell it differently.

Archie (Archer or Archibald) - not keen on Archie but Archer and Archibald are both awful
Sebastian - ok
Calab - Caleb is the usual spelling
Billie - Billy is the usual spelling

I like Eli and Lloyd - Eli Elliott is not good. Lloyd is great but Lloyd Elliott Dipdip is a bit like Price Cooper Waterhouse or something
DH like Harry and Louis - but not William and George?
