To ask which surname is more naice?

[BlowThisForEggAndSoldiers]

Dear vipers, I am going to ditch my husband's name and I have a claim to either Scott or Stone. I want to know which one of two sounds more glam, more posh.

Scott of course has a lot of associations, from Buccleuch down to Ronnie, Stone to me brings to mind Patsy, (not a bad thing).

Going through the separation roller coaster right now, and I desperately need cheering up. (NC for this, natch)
YABU - Wha hae!
YANBU - Rock and roll, baby!

@WunWun

Why didn't you do the voting so we could choose which name to vote for?

Stone is much better than Scott.

She did!

I’d choose Stone, purely for the Patsy association. I think it’s wonderful.

I have a similarly ‘rugged’ one syllable surname and I love it.

Of the two, Stone definitely the cooler choice. Patsy definitely not a bad association.

Obviously not!

It really does depend on your first name.

I think I prefer Scott though. Though Scone is an option!

@notacooldad

Lost me at the use of 'naice' Me too.

Clearly not given you opened the thread to post.

They are equally as unremarkable, and what the flip does your voting mean?

Oh I have... you seem naice

I vote Scone.

(Or Stone if baked goods are off the table)

Stone!

@SoupDragon

I vote Scone.

(Or Stone if baked goods are off the table)

I'm now considering Crumpets, as in, "the thinking man's"

Depends on the first name.

If -for example - you're called Kate, then "Kate Scott" sounds like

"Great scot!!!"

Which could either be good or bad I suppose - but I wouldn't want it.

However you do have a chance here for total reinvention... why stay with the obvious...

I would choose Stone. because the second surname in one of the other languages is not translated very proudly and beautifully (like cattle)

@MikeUniformMike

How about a compromise, and change it to Scone.

I like Kate Scott because it sounds like Great Scott.

I think you should really enjoy making the right decision! If you're getting divorced you need the light relief

I'd go for Battenberg-Scone personally.

That’s hilarious, I know a Kate Scott and now I’m going to think ‘Great Scott’ whenever I see her!

I prefer the name Stone but I wouldn’t want to be naice particularly

My vote goes to Stone.

I voted for Stone but either are nice.

Can you go further up your family tree, look at grandmother's maiden names etc to see if theres anything more glam?

I also have a friend who picked an entirely new name.

I recently came across someone with the surname Hazard which is cool.

Ooh now, I think this might be the way to go Op.

I'd go for Battenberg-Scone personally

I love this

OP You could be Lady Battenberg of Scott Stone

How about a compromise, and change it to Scone. Brilliant, I mean everyone loves a scone, how could it go wrong.

"more naice"?
