Honest opinion for a girl name!

CatO · August 2009

We like Elliott or for a more feminine spelling Elliette. NN would be Elle.

This.

Boys name. Changing the spelling malkes it look like a made-up name. Just call the baby elle

Elliott for a girl is NMS.

That said, I've heard it more lately for girls but I totally disagree with the feminine spelling. If you're naming your daughter a masculine name, own it. It's masculine no matter how you spell it and I automatically judge those who use "special" spellings.

starsmaycollide · August 2009

I think you should just name her Elle.

CatO · August 2009

Thanks all...these were thoughts I was having which are now confirmed by public opinion! Just starting to think about names so on to other options!

mgra328 · August 2009

eh...i think its too masculine.

mrsmegs06 · August 2009

I don't really like it either..it's nms.

FutureMrs.Steen · August 2009

Hate it for a girl and the unique spelling doesn't make me like it anymore...it's still the same name.?

Ginkeez · August 2009

I think Elliott is just fine for a girl if you like it, but if you are just going to call her Elle, then name her Elle. My boss named his daughter Elliott and she has always only been Ella, and it drives me crazy they didn't just name her Ella, being as it isn't even kind of a shortened version of Elliott. He said it was to "give her options in the future". Nice, but the confusion will probably outweigh the "freedom" of choosing. But if you like Elliott then call her Elliott. I don't think there is anything wrong with it for a girl, as long as you don't mind a name that is used for a boy or a girl. I prefer names that are meant for one or the other, but not both, but that's just me.

jkcharles · August 2009

yeah I agree... its a terrible name for a girl!

Very cute!?

mlf625 · August 2009

I like it, but don't like the spelling you came up with. ?I'd just go with Elliot. ?

shanBmcg · August 2009

I'm with the other PP - just go with Elle. Elliot is a boy's name and changing the spelling doesn't make it more feminine IMO. Boys names for girls sounds tired.

TripMomma · August 2009

NOOOOO

agreed. This is one we had on our list before deciding on Quinn for our son. I dont know why all the good boys names have to be taken over by the girls. Girls already have a wide variety of pretty choices!

Summer20 · August 2009

like Elliott, very cute

HATE Elliette

EmmaBrooke · August 2009

NMS... Makes me think immediately of a boy name, or like PP stated, Scrubs.

Why not just name her Elle if that's what you plan to call her anyway? I definately like that much better!

oliviasmom08 · August 2009

Not a fan and I definitely don't care for your unique spelling (looks totally made-up). I say, if you're going to call her Elle, name her Elle. That's a very nice name and goes well with your DD's name.?

carolinag · August 2009

elliot and elliette are not pronounced the same. elliette looks ridiculous imo.

Megcheer2 · August 2009

I like just naming her Elle.

blambert98 · August 2009

I love this name but DH said when the teacher reads her name she will assume the child is a boy. I, too, was trying to figure out a different spelling. We also liked Emmitt, and DH suggested spelling it Emmette. The only thing I have a problem with is the "ette" being the stressed syllable. Like being pronounced Ellie Ette. Or Em Ette. So I kind of ruled out both because it was too confusing. And many people will tell you it's too you-neek or made up, but who cares? I think if you both like it, make it work! And it's def different and I think it's super cute for a girl.
