Me and DH were playing around on the Kinder app and one of our few matches was Scout. DH had never even considered it and the more he thinks about it the more he loves it. I feel like hormones have made me slightly insane around names.

So what does the mumsnet jury think?

I don't like the sound of it, it's really harsh and reminds me of 'scab' - I don't know why!

I do like it but probably more as a nickname or middle name that the child gets known as. In TKAMB she's Jean isn't she?

I'm not keen, though alright as a NN I suppose.

I'm not too keen, but then I tend to lean towards more traditional (some may say boring) names

Think of them as an adult with the name Scout.

The vtech puppy toy is called scout. That was my first thought. It's very annoying.

It's an amazing name and also the name of my cat.

Agree. It needs to be Jean Louise with nickname Scout. 'Tis the only way.

Scout is a seriously ugly name.

Horrendous, sorry. Celebrities can get away with it as they don't live the usual day to day life, but for us normal peeps it could make life difficult.

Absolutely love it. She’s one of my heroines and I’ve always wanted to use it. Beautiful. Strong, ballsy yet feminine.

But her name is Jean Louise. Scout is her nickname.
