And no. I always inwardly shuddered when I saw it on Scrubs.
And she'll very likely (though not inevitably) become Ellie/Ella/Elle so you might as well give the poor thing a proper feminine name and if you want something different to Eleanor etc there is always Elaine, Electra, Elfreda, Eliana, Elmira, Elvira etc. Something that will tell people she is actually a girl because regardless of whether she has a feminine middle name or not she is not going to be known as, eg, Elliot Madelina her whole life. She will just be Girl-Elliot to distinguish her from all the male Elliots she'll meet.
