Nah. It's of an era with Brett/Jason/Troy/Bradley. Best left there, IMO.

Grin Danger, they were all v common boys' names in 1980s Australia. I had loads in my classes, along with the more classic Matthews/Thomases/Daniels, etc. I think that's why they make me shudder!

I think Scott is a very plain name, but then I do like the more uncommon names. DS is Miller, but also like Sailor, Ryder, and Turner.

It would've been my name if I'd been a boy, I was born in the 80s though. I still think it's a nice name.

I personally love Bruce Koala and if I have another DS I want to call him that

Don't like the others though. Scott is okay

I'm an Aussie too Koala which is why l think l like them slightly homesick. But l don't like any from your second list. That's just pushing the envelope too far Smile

I know Scott's of all ages but I am in Scotland :)

It doesn't sound dated at all to me as it's just one of those names that is always about.

It's not a favourite of mine, but I think it's a good name.

The only Scott I know is a man in his mid 30s who drives a white Suburi and wears and earring

So many Scotts in Scotland.

Calling a Scot Scott always strikes me as being so very unimaginative.

Went to school, with loads of Scott's they all turned out to be criminals or on the dole so I don't have any good associations with the name
