Do you think it's a bad thing if both the first and middle names are unisex or not? I've really been liking Elliot for a girl, and one of the combos on my (somewhat GP) list is Elliot Reese. Some people think that combo is too unisex and a more feminine middle name would work better, but I like it.

I don't like it because it's confusing. I know a girl named Morgan Cole, her first day of High school she was placed in Boys Gym! Elliott and Reese are fine for a girl but they need a girly middle name to balance it out IMo

Personally, I'm not a fan of it. But in all reality, people only go by their first and last name anyway. Like even if her name was Elliot Reese, on official forms, she'd either write her name as Elliot [surname] or Elliot R. [surname]. Official applications only ask for the first initial of your last name generally.

I don't care for ultra masculine unisex names on girls, in the same way I don't like it vise versa. Reese Elliot would be gorgeous to me though, I love Reese (on both genders, actually).

GL!

I like unisex names and I have many unisex combo's in my GP list :) My sister actually has a pure unisex name though she was born in an age when her first name and the spelling of her middle name are known as predominately female. I personally don't like Reese on a girl but Elliot is cute :)

Ha, that's my problem with my combo Elliot Quinn, which I adore for a girl. I've considered spelling Elliot in a more feminine way, like Elliotte, Elliet, or Eliette, if that would be something you'd consider

I am opened about unisex names, but I match Elliot for boy, sorry.
