Who thinks the baby should be named Elliott?
I had a conversation with Kevin last night, suggesting we name the baby after my dear friend, Elliott, who died long before his time. I thought it's a beautiful name, and would be a nice way to remember one I held so close to my heart, and sincerely miss.
Many of you knew Elliott. Kevin didn't even know Elliott, and insists that we absolutely will NOT name the baby Elliott.
Hmmm. I think it's nice.
And it sounds good with our last name.
And it's cute.

I THINK SO!!
I love that name. I was secretly thinking if I ever had a child, and if it were a boy, I'd name it Elliot. After the bunny and you, of course. It's a great name.
You'll have to change your blog name though. Might get confusing.
Kevin thinks it isn't appropriate to name your child after a bunny, even if the bunny was deeply loved.
I don't agree. I think it's perfectly fine. Why would a kid grow up and be offended that he shares a name with a bunny? It's not like he shares a name with something bad, like Judas who betrayed Jesus or something. Other kids aren't going to tease him because his name is Elliott. They don't know the bunny.
Besides, Elliott was a beatific wonderful celestial bunny that made every day of my life better. And I miss him still. And he looked like he was wearing pants.
I think it's nice. Kevin does not.
I was just about to comment that Elliot would also be a cute name for a girl :)
right now, for a boy, it makes me think of elliot on idol. who has some genetic syndrome, as confirmed by the fameous geneticists with whom i had to make small talk at this party the other night. literally, i had to think up something to say when the guy who runs my department says, "so, did you catch idol last night?" first i said, yeah, good thing- i didn't like that girl." "Not McPhee!" he says, so i told him that no, no, i love mcphee, i've got the mcphever, but what about that elliot, i just look at him and think- oh my god your ears are so low! you have a good voice, but i bet you have five nipples under each armpit (insert joke here about slime ball at UofM with too many nipples- genetic issue). Although... i love elliot stabler on SVU, as i'm sure you know.
for a girl, makes me think of the really hot girl with that name on scrubs. i love her.
keep in mind, elliot is a name a kid could get teased for (but they all are). i named my bun Otis, but wouldn't name a kid that. i'm so curious what you and kev will choose!
By the way - Happy Belated Birthday!!!!
Thank you! Wow, 28. Can you believe that? I still don't feel old....
