I like it. It has a nice sound. It seems very *now* and like it would be used by parents who also loved Henry and Oliver. Yuppie-ish, I guess. I think it'll definitely end up in the top 100. It might end up getting misspelled a lot, with no one sure how many Ls and how many Ts are in it.

I think Elias has a bit more character.

I know an Elliot and Oliver sibset in their late twenties. They do seem to go well together as names.

Elliott and Oliver were my favourite boys’ names when I was 12-13. Girls were Olivia and Eloise and as I planned on having two children, a boy/girl sib-set would have been either Elliott and Olivia or Eloise and Oliver, never the similar names together.

But yeah, I like Elliot. Not quite enough to use it any more but I like it!
