Elliot - what to shorten it to?

[TheMightyToosh]

Love the name, but I know we will naturally shorten it sometimes, at home if nowhere else, and would hate to accidentally call him Ellie!

Any ideas?

both elliots i know get calls 'ells' and 'ellsbells' by their friends and family

'El'
or sometimes
'Ellboy'

I know an Elliot who gets called Mel. Although I appreciate that's a bit of a leap.

My Elliot is usually Elliot, or Ell. I have a Millie, so is sometimes gets Melliot

E or Lee?

We deliberately chose a name we couldn't shorten because we're like that and still end up calling ds by his initial!

I'd imagine El maybe. It think it's a gorgeous name, and I don't think many people would shorten it to be honest.

How about Lot?

Shortens to Ells, lengthens to Ellington

what about Eli?

Our Elliot gets Ells, Boo (he pretends to hate this, comes from Elly Belly Boo when he was a baby), and went through a phase of calling himself Lio, which kind of works.

He also gets Elly Bells. And Ellsy Bob.

Poor kid.
