Haha! Can you imagine being named Elmo? I mean, it would be awful. Everyone would tease you about the red furry Elmo from Sesame Street.

Now that Elmo means a red, furry (sometimes obnoxious) little monster from Sesame Street, who would want to name their child Elmo? I'd be the laughing stock of the school if I was named Elmo or Barney.
I met a GIRL once named Elmo. It's bad enough for a boy but on a girl? Those parents were out of their minds!

Sesame Street, do you remeber that song (in Australia) it was an ad a few years ago, it would make any little kid called Elmo feel great. It was like the YMCA song, but it was ELMO it went E.L Mmm. O ELMOoo.
I met a girl with this name once. I've always wondered what her parents were smoking the day they named their baby.

This is the last thing I'd name my kid! This is a terrible name for a child. It's already been used on the character everyone knows. (no offence to anyone who has this name)

Ahh. It's kinda cute! Haha! But they probably would get laughed at! Oh well, I still love it!
I LOVE this name! I don't think a kid would get made fun of if they had this name. If they did, it's probably because other kids would be jealous because they have all those terribly over-used names. And actually, I think it sounds nice on either gender! :D
This is the name of one of my pets (a parrot). It fits him very well. His first word was Elmo. I think it makes a sweet name for a pet. Not sure if I'd use it on a human.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE Elmo from Sesame Street! But it's not something I would ever name my son (or daughter).
