Elliott

Boy or girl name? Or unisex? Would you spell it differently for a girl versus a boy? I'm not using this name (I sort of dated a guy named Elliot and he was sort of a jerk in the end), but I am curious of what BN thinks.

Boy!!! I wouldn't spell it differently for a girl because I would not use it for a girl.

Unisex. Mostly because I'm a HUGE Scrubs fan and I personally now a little girl Elliott and it suits her.

I'd prefer it for a boy, but the SSA data says actual usage is moving in the unisex direction.

In 2011, there were 2,585 boys named Elliott/Elliot/Eliot, etc. and 635 girls, for a ratio of about 4:1 in favor of boys.

It's unisex, but I don't know any girls with this name. I prefer the Elliot spelling.

IRL? Boy name.

On "Scrubs" it's a girls name.

I've only known 2 people in my life that have had this name and they were both girls and it was before the "boys names on girls" trend.  Therefore, I'm an oddball and associate the name with girls and not boys.  I think the name on boys sounds feminine and "fluffy." but again, that's just me :)

For me there's no such thing as a name that's only for boys. :)

All boy.  I know a little girl Elliott, but her parents call her Ellie, so I don't actually associate her name being Elliott.

I totally don't understand this line of reasoning.  The character on Scrubs hated her name.  Her parents wanted a boy, that's why they named her that.  So basically even she (and her parents) realize it's not a unisex name.

Our baby girl is Elliott! We sometimes call her Ellie. We got mixed responses at first, but now that she's here, it's perfect for her and we are happy with our choice! I will say that several people have shared with me that ther niece/neighbor, etc... Is a girl Elliott.
