I would go the more unique route personally because I love anything that's not the norm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-variations-on-the-name-eliot/page/2#post-2467380 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 08:22:49 +0000 LulaBee 2467380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Elliot for a girl. I wanted to use (after my grandparents) but my cousin got to it first. We ended up with an Ellison. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-variations-on-the-name-eliot/page/2#post-2467128 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 21:39:23 +0000 Mrs. D 2467128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not sure which spelling, but definitely use Elliot!<br /> It's a great non-gendered name that could be good for a boy or a girl. It's a great honour. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-variations-on-the-name-eliot#post-2456680 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 12:08:41 +0000 MrsBrewer 2456680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How about Ellie </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-variations-on-the-name-eliot#post-2456653 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 11:59:47 +0000 peachykeen 2456653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about Eliana? I've heard it a few times and always thought it was pretty, but I just looked it up and it's apparently Hebrew and means "God has answered" - seems like a nice sentiment for the situation :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-variations-on-the-name-eliot#post-2456305 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 09:03:46 +0000 Eko 2456305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@nana87: If it's tradition in your family to reuse names then my vote is for Ayelet and Eleanor. I think Ayelet is super cute and a little more original - and seems closer to Elliott than Eleanor. But Eleanor is one of my top favorite names too. I don't think you can go wrong with any of your choices. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-variations-on-the-name-eliot#post-2456251 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 08:31:31 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2456251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@nana87: I think a similar name without being the exact name is the way to go then! </p> <p>My son is named after DHs grandpa but he passed away over 30 years ago so everyone loved it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-variations-on-the-name-eliot#post-2456234 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 08:20:19 +0000 nana87 2456234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Champagne: that's a really good point about sensitivity and using the exact name, and mil can be unpredictable in her reactions. plus, dh is (understandably) really upset that his father won't meet another grandchild even though likes the idea of honoring his name. usually it's been a lot longer between the relative passing and the name being used (for example, both dh and I were named after people who had passed away ~20 years before we were born) so it might be really raw if it's within the same year-ish. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-variations-on-the-name-eliot#post-2456229 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 08:14:33 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2456229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think if it's tradition to change up the name you've got some great options above!</p> <p>I don't know if I would do Elliott (although the I do love it!) in case it would upset family having the name said all the time? Maybe it wouldn't! But my friend wanted to use her brothers (he passed when he was young) as her sons middle and her mom said not to use the name anywhere, it would be too hard for her. </p> <p>So I think changing it so it's a bit more feminine to go with Rosalie is a great option :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-variations-on-the-name-eliot#post-2456225 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 08:11:23 +0000 nana87 2456225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>thanks again, everyone! this has been really interesting (and a fun distraction from a cp...). I hadn't thought of girl-Elliott not fitting with the very feminine name Rosalie, so that definitely makes me lean towards some of the other names...I also thought of Juliet since posting this, since the first syllable would pull from Jules and the last from -ot, but the names together, though both very feminine, might be too Shakespearian, haha</p> <p>@MrsSRS: we're using my maiden name as a middle, but I do love Eleanor Jules!</p> <p>@dc yoga bee: oh I hadn't thought of Ella, thanks!</p> <p>@mrsjd: one of my good friends as a kid was an Ellen so I can't not associate it with her, haha</p> <p>@erinbaderin: dh suggested Ellie too, but I'd rather use it as a nn than a full name</p> <p>@lawbee11: @shortcake: I really like Eliza too but dh has a bad association with it apparently and vetoed</p> <p>@Eko: @JerricaBenton: the convention in our family is actually to change the name a little, both dh and my names are slightly changed versions of relatives who had passed away before we were born (it's Jewish tradition to honor loved ones who've passed). so we'd be following this pattern. lo's name is also a play on 3 different people's names.</p> <p>@mamimami: my name is Anna so I think Eliana is a little too close, though very sweet!</p> <p>@Mrs. Pickle: I do really love Eleanor, and you're right, it goes with Rosalie really well! Love your name choices ;)</p> <p>@ElbieKay: I really like Elizabeth though maybe not as much as some of the others...but it's another one to think about!</p> <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: I think we'd go with Eloise, based on dh's initial reaction, except for the tongue twister aspect! Lottie is a really sweet nn idea too.</p> <p>@Meowkers: beautiful name choice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-variations-on-the-name-eliot#post-2456112 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 00:34:23 +0000 Meowkers 2456112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my daughter is named Elliott. Our nicknames for her are Ellie, Elle, and Elles. I may be biased but I think Elliott is an awesome and versatile name. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-variations-on-the-name-eliot#post-2456109 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 00:31:26 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2456109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Elliott on its own for a girl, Lottie is the cutest nickname ever (I'd love to have a Lottie myself!).</p> <p>I also love Elodie.</p> <p>Elsie is a cute one too!</p> <p>(Love Eloise but I think it sounds too tongue twistery with Rosalie) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-variations-on-the-name-eliot#post-2456038 Tue, 09 Feb 2016 22:26:40 +0000 shortcake 2456038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One more option is Eliza. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-variations-on-the-name-eliot#post-2456020 Tue, 09 Feb 2016 21:57:45 +0000 JerricaBenton 2456020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would do a middle name Eliott. I just feel like if you're naming after someone, I'd want to use the actual name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-variations-on-the-name-eliot#post-2456004 Tue, 09 Feb 2016 21:42:15 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2456004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think Eliott goes with Rosalie. My daughter is also Rosalie. I have Eleanor picked out as a name for a possible second daughter. I think they go great together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-variations-on-the-name-eliot#post-2455996 Tue, 09 Feb 2016 21:37:09 +0000 ElbieKay 2455996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My thoughts before reading the poll options were Eleanor or Eloise, both of which could be nicknamed Ellie.</p> <p>You could also consider Elizabeth since it's another Eli- prefix. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-variations-on-the-name-eliot#post-2455989 Tue, 09 Feb 2016 21:29:21 +0000 mamimami 2455989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eliana </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-variations-on-the-name-eliot#post-2455952 Tue, 09 Feb 2016 20:50:23 +0000 loveisstrange 2455952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Elliott as a girl's name!</p> <p>And yes, Ive already decided that our hypothetical future daughter will be named after my grandmother who passed away last April. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-variations-on-the-name-eliot#post-2455950 Tue, 09 Feb 2016 20:48:31 +0000 Eko 2455950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am more of a fan of just using the name as opposed to using something that sounds like it. So my vote is to call her Elliott or use it as a middle name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-variations-on-the-name-eliot#post-2455919 Tue, 09 Feb 2016 20:23:24 +0000 yellowbird 2455919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would go with Ella or Ellie or Elodie</p> <p>I do think Elliott is fine for a girl and I grew up with a friend who was a girl named this but I don't think it goes well with Rosalie </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-variations-on-the-name-eliot#post-2455915 Tue, 09 Feb 2016 20:20:05 +0000 ldh112 2455915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@nana87: as far as Jules, what about Jewel? I know a little girl named Jewel. Maybe it's too reminiscent of the singer, but cute nonetheless. :) You could do Julia or Jewel as a middle name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-variations-on-the-name-eliot#post-2455912 Tue, 09 Feb 2016 20:17:41 +0000 dolphin 2455912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rattles: same!
