All seem to be "correct" from what I can tell...I am leaning towards 2 L's, 1 T, but still unsure.....

Not sure which is "correct" but I would spell it Elliot.

I like the first spelling best too (Elliott). It just looks more complete to me.

I like Elliott. It looks like it's missing something with only 1 t.

2 L's and 1 T is my preference for a first name.

2 L's and 2 T's looks like a last name to me.

I prefer Elliott. My nephew is Elliot and it seems like everyone misspells it.

The first or second.  The third one just looks wrong.

I'd probably go with Elliott, because it might be easier for him to tell people "2 ls and 2 ts."  It might be more confusing saying, "2 ls and 1 t."

Elliot or Elliott are what I consider to be more popular and "correct". There's actually a website about someone's passion for their name spelling:

I did hear an interesting story that I'm trying to verify. Elliot(t) was a top contender and I asked this very same question two years ago. My husband was talking about it to a coworker, and apparently the extra T on Elliott was added to identify the criminal branch of the family name. It has something to do with the Scots. I'll try to find out more, but anyway, I've seen the double L as the norm. The trouble with this name, and one of the reasons we tossed it out, was that it would be forever 'one T or two?'. HTH!

This name is near the top of our list, too, and we would spell it Elliot. I know 2 Elliotts, so I was surprised to see that Elliot is actually the slightly more common spelling on SSA. They are #301 and 315, though, so either way he'll be in good company.
