It's a NICKNAME. Use it if you like, but give the poor thing a proper name too.

I've considered it as a middle name. would love to use a tkamb name for a child. but agree - as a first name sounds a bit try hard perhaps.

barnsleybelle · 22/11/2008 22:12

I love it, reminds me to kill a mocking bird.

Scout is a popular brand of school bags in Germany, loads of school equipment has "Scout" all over it.

Agree, it has the Sarah Palin touch about it.

RomanCandleQueen · 22/11/2008 22:07

Baden-Powell?

LaDiDaDi · 22/11/2008 22:05

I really like it as a middle name or nickname but I wouldn't give it as a formal first name.

There's some fantastic names in TKAM. Try Calpurnia. Or Atticus. Or Alexandra. Or Maud. Don't pick a nickname as a real name. Very labelling for the child.

zaphod · 22/11/2008 21:32

I went for Jean Louise instead.

nickytwotimes · 22/11/2008 21:31

Nope.

NosfeRaahhTu · 22/11/2008 21:30

but it was a nickname in TKAM, for Jean Louise wasn't it?

And one of Bruce Willis /Demi Moores girls is called Scout, i think..
