Help! Does our chosen name work?!

Hi all!
My husband and I after some opinions on our favourite baby name to help us out? We love Scarlett, but the trouble is our surname is similar, it’s Schubert. The Sc at the start and T end, the same number of syllables...I think the sounds are different enough to not be too rhyming but I’ve over thought it now and can’t see clearly! What do you all think?
Thanks so much in advance!

I think they sound good together. Schubert is a cracking surname.

Thank you all! Oh we’d definitely have a middle name there, we were thinking something single syllable to break it up. In reality tho names are usually only pronounced by first and last names, so trying to make sure it’s not too laughable with just the two. I’m too pregnant and hormonal to think straight!

Put a mn in there!! Ime people give dc the full title in the first few weeks to sound out the name!!
After that she will just be Scarlett anyway!!

Scarlett Schubert sounds great imo :)

But I do feel like it would look nicer (particularly the initials) with a middle name.

Scarlett Elizabeth, Scarlett Carina, Scarlett Victoria, Alexandra, Lydia, Elena etc... (3+ syllable names)

It might be better with a balancing middle name.

I love it and think it works well - sounds very ‘superhero’y! you see loads of superheroes with alliterative names similar, Peter Parker, Bruce Banner... it wouldn’t put me off whatsoever!

It sounds like a screen name to me. I don't think I'd use it

May sound cute or a bit comical. Some will like it some won’t. You could have a good middle name she could use instead if she doesn’t like it?

I think it's different enough. Go for it.
