Situation #1
Lady At The Security Desk: Name, please.
Me: Elliott.
LATSD: I LOVE the name Elliott. I have a baby niece with that name.
Me: Oh... That's nice.
That's the second time I've come across a baby girl named Elliott. Soon there will be no names that belong exclusively to boys. Sheesh.
Please join me in a boycott of this show.
Situation #2
Lady At The Checkout: You're named Elliott?
Me: Yes.
LATC: I LOVE the name Elliott.
Me: Funny you should say that. I had a person say the exact same thing to me today. That person told me she has a niece named Elliott.
LATC: A girl named Elliott? That's weird. I like the name because I LOVE the movie ET.
Me: Hmm.
that's totally lame. if we had another boy, elliott would have probably been his name.
ReplyDeletethat show is funny, but i'll join your boycott for the sake of your name's masculinity. :)

ReplyDeleteYou're not in Kansas anymore, Elliott.
ReplyDeleteA girl named Elliott?????????
ReplyDeleteWhat is wrong with people? That girl's whole life people are going to be surprised that she's not a boy.
ReplyDeletei agree with the queen! elliott is one of the strongest male names i can imagine - but your sister is named after my grandfather and i am named after another grandfather, so styles definitely change. and what about elliott the dragon from pete's dragon. a very masculine figure! mom
