Re: Elliot for a girl...?

I don't like any surnames on girls. To me, surnames are inherently masculine sounding. What's wrong with giving a girl a feminine name? I can understand not wanting to give a girl an ultra-frilly name, but there are names that are feminine without being frilly. So, no, I would never name a girl Elliot.

I wasn't aware that Elliot was strictly a surname.

I think that's how it started. I could be wrong.

I looked it up here, and it did start as a surname. But I guess it's been used as a first name for boys long enough that it isn't thought of that way, necessarily.
