No, no, no! Eliot (whatever spelling) is a boys name. I can't tell you how tired I am of hearing boys' names on girls. There are already more girls' names than boys'! Why do they now have to steal all the good ones from the guys?!

Yuck

I think it's tacky on a girl, sorry.
Yes, it is used as a girls name on Scrubs-- because her father wanted a boy.

Sure. I prefer it for a girl.

I love Eliot on a girl, so much that I would never consider using it for a boy. I immediately think of George Eliot when I see it, so (for me) it's always had a very feminine vibe. "Scrubs" has a female Elliot who has given it a lot of exposure as a girl's name, so I don't think it would be seen as all that weird.

FWIW, I've always thought Eliot as a girl's name is something of a no-brainer, with the obvious "Ellie" nickname and the similarity between its -ot ending and the girlish -ette ending. It won't surprise me a bit if we start seeing female Everetts, nn Evie, and female Emmetts, nn Emmy, for the same reason.

Ehh, I think it sounds a bit too masculine. Sorry. And I prefer Elliott. It's a nice name.

I think it sounds fine on a girl

It could be used on a girl, just like any name could, but it doesn't mean that it should be. I dislike Eliot on a girl, there are so many names to choose from, and Eliot is masculine.

I've met a girl and a guy named Eliot. To me though, it will always be a guy's name.

It could and it is. A shame IMO.

It is used for a girl on the T.V. show, Scrubs. However, I much prefer it for a boy, and am sick of hearing of boy names on girls, seeing as girls have so many lovely names to chose from.
