Another name question if you have a moment - TIA!

AshleyHJ · March 2013

We are team green but are seriously leaning towards Elliotte if LO is a girl. I am admittedly nervous that it will get a poor reception given the traditional boy connotation but my husband suggested it a few months back and it has kind of stuck with us. Anyway, I was hoping to get a little input on the spelling of the name if you have a moment to weigh in - thanks so much! MN will likely be Elizabeth and LN is similar to Jones. Open to other suggestions for a MN too...

A) Elliotte Elizabeth Jones

Elliot Elizabeth Jones

C) Really dislike Elliot/Elliotte for a girl so spelling doesn't matter

Sorry my first reaction was...why would you give a boy the middle name Elizabeth?

I think that if you love it and want to use it, then you should go with "A."

Maybe because I know two Elliots that are girls, it doesn't sound bad to me at all. Either spelling you prefer. I think it's cute.

I guess I'm in the minority, but I don't mind Elliotte for a girl.

C. but if you love it, go for it!

I do like Elizabeth Elliot though!

I know a guys names Leslie and Kelly. So the name being a "boys" name doesn't really bother me. And besides, who doesn't love and miss Elliot from Scrubs? As someone with a hard to spell first name, I hate having to constantly correct pe

AshleyHJ · March 2013

Thanks for all the input - keep it coming! I know it isn't for everyone so I don't mind the "C"s - I am interested to get an idea of the general reaction.

CRLSMC2011 · March 2013

It's NMS but I would go with Elliotte. I know a man named Jan who was put in a girl's dorm in college because they thought he was female based on the name.

B. and I adore the name Elliot for a girl, it was on our top 5 list if we had a girl, but we're having a boy :

MAdams728 · March 2013

C, for me. Sorry =(

But if you love it, it definitely looks better spelled properly. Adding letters dosent make it sound any more feminine, and she will still go through life with a man's name, it will j

Sooo, I'm a SCRUBS fan... and therefore have to go with B.

Dr. Elliot Reid made me totally that name for a girl!

And, since I dated a guy named Christy and have a close (female) friend named Davis, I'm all for gender-bender names. I

A. I think it will eliminate some of the gender confusion when her name is read [i.e. on a resume, class roll, letters and emails, etc.]

ETA: As far as concerns that the spelling will be butchered by others, I think it would be no different

I love the name Elliott for a girl- so B

Gemelli · March 2013

I have a friend named Elizabeth Elliott! I kind of like it as a girl name. It's different.

illchick24 · March 2013

A - Personally I love boy names on girls. Our girl name is also a boy name. I don't care what anyone else thinks. I look at it this way, there are way worse names out there that you could be using! It's your kid, name it what you LOVE!

lumosmaxima · March 2013

B. I don't think its a terrible boys name to use on a girl, but I would be prepared for people to shorten it a lot to "Ellie".

B. I'm not a huge fan of "boys names" for girls, but I don't really consider it to be only a boy's name, maybe because of Elliott from Scrubs like other have mentioned. I think it's kind of like the name Taylor- if it's a boy people would say "isn't

Many thanks to everyone for sharing their opinions and I appreciate that most of the responses were constructive I am leaning towards Elliotte simply based on the point that someone raised about it appearing more feminine when written on a res
