[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I probably wouldn't do Elliott for a girl, but I love Ellery.[/quote]

Ellery is a boy name. Like Ellery Queen.

However, I don't have any problem with Elliott, or Ellery, for a girl. So Elliott might have to say, "Hi, my name is Elliott. Yes, I'm a girl." I don't think that would be a big deal.[/quote]

That would get really old.  Having to constantly correct people's assumptions would be a real drag.  I don't want my intro to have to include "Yes, I'm a girl" for the rest of my life. [/quote]

That's a really good point. +1[/quote]

If you're introducing yourself as Elliott to people in real life, they will presumably figure out your girlness on their own, without your having to clarify.[/quote]

I work with people who I never meet in person and in some cases don't speak to over the phone - at least not initially.  I would assume an Elliot was a man.  Would this make a huge difference in terms of work?  No. But I'd want my colleagues to know my sex and not to be thrown off by my name.  Virtual workplaces are increasingly common, so it's not unusual that people don't meet their colleagues face-to-face.[/quote]
