Elton is predominantly a male name in the United States, and has declined in use since the 1950s. There are approximately 9,000 people named Elton in the US today.
The name Elton's root letters are ELT.
People who sport Eltons names exhibit all the emotional and enthusiastic qualities of the excitable letter E tempered with a distinct air of intellectualism. For the letter L -- the symbol of love, learning and lightness -- moderates these names with its thoughtful spirituality. Bringing up the rear, the triumphantly trumpeting letter T infuses these names a sense of contagious optimism and a zest for life.
Endearing and lively (although sometimes a little socially-awkward), Eltons are the types of people you'll find blazing trails in science or art. Their laid-back and unassuming natures mask sharp minds that are always on the prowl for stimulating conversations or challenging conundrums. Although their infectious energy is usually channeled into their intellectual lives, if you want to see their enthusiastic sides just ask them about their latest project. You’re likely to receive a garrulous lecture on cold-fusion or sheep-cloning. But the ELT’s delivery is rooted in a desire to educate and never from an egocentric need to seem intelligent.
However, there is more to the ELT's life than hard work and research. For despite his occasional social clumsiness, this is a chummy fellow who requires ample amounts of human interaction to fulfill his emotional needs. So even though he may struggle to make intimate connections (a trait that attracts all kinds of eccentrics), his extraordinarily well-developed sense of loyalty leads to rock-solid alliances.
Marriage, or an equivalent partnership, is essential to the ELT’s peace of mind and he is most at peace when ensconced in an intimate affair. Because he finds dating to be somewhat intimidating, his mate will usually come from within his trusted group of friends. In this way, he is able to bypass messy romancing and go straight to the lasting and productive stage.
Those who enjoy hierarchy in their relationships will appreciate the ELT’s structured approach; for he is completely unfussy about whether his role is as leader or follower. He’s not going to complain as long as things are running smoothly, nor will he have any expectations from his mate other than fidelity and loyalty.
The ELT’s parenting style, as one might guess, will be characteristically and refreshingly unconventional. Children will be welcomed into his life -- provided that they know their place and don’t place too many demands on his creative and intellectual time -- and will be given the freedom that most kids only dream of.
