[Opinions] Re: Why Elliott for a girl?
in reply to a message by Wish Fish
Elliott is a surname and therefore unisex. There's nothing wrong with naming a girl Elliott. I guess the fact that it's not inherently feminine is off-putting to people who like very girly names. To each their own.

I find it to be feminine but also a definite boy name. I would say I like it on boys and not girls, but I would describe it as "feminine" and not "masculine" if I had to pick one of those as an adjective.
I would consider a girl named Elliott to have a "boy name" but I don't think it sounds masculine at all.

I know exactly what you mean! I call them "soft boy names." I actually love those :D I have daughters, but my boy list was all names with softer sounds and vowel endings.
agree 100%!
