I love it. Uncommon and distinctive and some great crusaders for the public good with that name (Ness, Spitzer). I guess I prefer Elliot.

I dislike it for some reason ... It sounds quite harsh to me, even though when I break it into sounds, it should actually be quite gentle. Hard to explain ... Eliot is the best spelling, imo. The double T gives a harsher, more surname-y look that I don't care for.

I love it, and prefer the spelling Elliot.

I love it. Prefer Eliot

I used to absolutely love this when I was 15-17 (I'm 23 now) and I loved the spelling Eliot. These days it's not a favourite - I've "gone off" surnamey names for boys - and I prefer Elliot because it seems more complete. I *don't* like the spelling Elliott because that extra 't' seems obsolete and makes it much too surnamey.

. . . so yeah, I like Eliot and Elliot but would never use either myself.

I think of Elliot Stabler from Law & Order: SVU. I like the character, so this is not a bad thing. :) It's also the name of my Geography teacher's son. I've seen pictures of him, and he's such a cutie. It's been growing on me a lot, though if I ever did use it, it would probably be as a mn. But we'll see. :)

I prefer the Elliot spelling. Elliott is quite nice too, but perhaps a bit too elaborate for me. Eliot looks incomplete, IMO.

I like the name, but it reminds me of a snotty little kid. I like Elliot the best.

I like the name, and I'd spell it Elliot. To me that is the least surnamey, most intuitive & phonetic spelling.

It's nice. I just was watching bedazzled so now Elliot is stuck in my head.

I love Elliot! I think it's such a nice name... I've known boys my whole life named Elliot, but it seems to be new to everyone else.

I like it and prefer Elliott, though Elliot's OK too. Eliot is too incomplete to me.

I'm not too fond of it, but I've always liked Elliott best. The other's looks incomplete to me.

It's not bad. Not really my style, but I don't hate it!

I prefer the longest version: Elliott.

Elliot makes me think of Anne Elliot from 'Persuasion' (I'm reading it right now) and Eliot makes me think of T.S. Eliot. Both last names.

I love it! Elliot is my favorite one, although any of those spellings are okay.
