We really like Elliott for our soon to be born son. But everyone - and I mean everyone we have told the name to does not care for it. Honest opinions? Like it? Really like it? Dislike it? Really dislike it?

I like the name Elliott a lot. I have a 16 year old cousin named Elliott, and he likes that he is the only one in his school. He has had occasional teasing about E.T. here and there, but all in fun. It's not trendy, made-up, or insubstantial, and I think it's just terrific.

I think it's lovely. In a world of Kayydyns, Ayydens, McMadisyyn Kre8tif McRyydyculus names, and variants thereof, Elliott is classic and refreshing. It's a name that will carry well into adulthood and will also be adorable on a small child.

LOVE IT!

I like it. I don't really like that many are now using it for a girl's name.

I like it fine. I don't think many men like it---they tend to not see Elliott as a very strong name. I don't know if more of your relatives who haven't liked it are men or not, but that's my perspective.

I personally don't care for it, can't really say why.

Actually, we too have chosen the name Elliott. We really like the name as do our friends.
