Baby Names
when you hear name Elliott, do you
think it sounds too close to "idiot"?
signed, hormonal 36w mom-to-be and a nameless baby boy

Re: when you hear name Elliott, do you
Nope, I think of Pete's Dragon (the dragon was named Elliott)
I also think of a really smart and sweet little boy!

no doesn't make me think of idiot at all..
it however remindes me of ET and the chick from scrubs
not until you just said it...
I like the name Elliott
No, I've never had that thought.
It's a great name! You're over-thinking it, mama!
I'll love you forever,
I'll like you for always,
As long as I'm living my baby you'll be.

LOL - This. I always hear this name in ET's voice
I do, but that's because my dk's have watched Open Season about a million times. I still like the name anyway.
Boog: [Helium voice] Hello, idiot.
Elliot: [Helium voice] That's Elliot.
since when Elliott is a unisex name??
never heard of a girl named Elliott.

Same here and that is why I would never use it.
I dont mind the name Elliott but, your question reminded me of this.....(go to 3:16)

No. I can see how that might happen on a playground at some point... but I wouldn't let that be the deciding factor in not using it.
FTR, I think of E.T., so not a bad association.
See, that's the clip I was looking for and didn't have the patience to find! I love that. Or when they keep calling him Smelliot. I still like the name though!
Um, that is my DH's name so NO.....weeeellll, except maybe when he disagrees with me
hehe, j/k
I think it's an amazing name....though I will totally admit my bias.
I'm a mom of an Elliott and in 3 years no one has called him Idiot instead of Elliott. On the playground once though a boy asked what his name was and I said Elliott and he said "Hi Alien". It made me laugh because he didn't even question why he was named Alien and just said hi to him.
I'd say the only downside of his name is that DS says w's for l's. So when people ask him his name he says something that sounds more like Ewwiott. But I'm sure that will come with time.
I get compliments on his name all the time. People usually say that they don't hear it very often. I love it but of course I'm biased.
