Origin of the name Elliott: Transferred use of the surname that originated as a diminutive of the Old French Älie, a cognate of the Hebrew Elijah (Jehovah is God). The name received a boost in popularity due to the central character in the popular movie E.T. Var: Eliot, Eliott, Elliott.
The human armpit has a lot to offer bacteria. It's moist, it's warm, and it's usually dark. But when the bacteria show up, they can make a stink. That's because when some kinds of bacteria encounter sweat they produce smelly compounds, transforming the armpit from a neutral oasis to the mothership of body odor. And one group of bacteria is to blame for the stink, researchers say.
My 7-year-old's armpits smell! I've seen kids as young as 2 with smelly armpits. Some children just sweat more than other kids. Others seem to have more bacteria on their skin, which cause stinkiness by breaking down chemicals in sweat. But most of us don't get underarm odor until puberty, when the sweat glands there become active. So you should get your daughter checked out by her doctor, since she could be going through early puberty. He'll look for other signs, such as breast development, pubic or underarm hair, or a growth spurt; if he finds them, he may recommend a visit with an endocrinologist to help slow it down.
