Foolishly said in jest to DH (I do kind of like it too)

Now he's hooked on the name and I'm not sure.

What do you think?

Too noisy?

Too brash?

Or a lovely big personality name?

I wondered if 'Letti' could become a nickname?

Brash, sorry.

Apologies to parents of Scarletts out ther as it is a pretty name, but it doesn't make me think of Scarlett O'Hara so much as the lion called Scar in the Lion King ... Scar is not a very pretty nickname!

Restrain - good to hear. I always think of Scarlett O'Hara (who I do like) and she was a bit fierce wasn't she, in Gone With The Wind! Do you shorten it to anything?

RC - it does go with our surname...

DD1 is Scarlett and she is a quiet gentle girl :)

I'm not that keen - I've never been able to get past the fact it has Scar in it, sorry.

I like it.
It doesn't have to be too brash and noisy.
Does it go with your surname?
