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!

Stone is cooler - neither is particularly glam or (bleh) 'naice', though!

I know someone with the surname Gauntlett. I've always loved it, images of duels and knights in shining armour etc. I#d pick something fabulous.

I also had a teacher with the surname Darling. A posh boy in our class loved saying "Oh Miss Daahling, could I perhaps ask a question?" cracked us up every time given that we were mostly council estate scum.

Scone lol - meet in the middle

It has got to be Scone

Don't limit yourself to English, OP.
Ecosse Pierre.

Schotte Stein.

I think I've solved the pronunciation dilemma (should it rhyme with Scott or Stone).

It would have to be pronounced as in the Scottish Stone of Scone.

I think they’re both great names OP! Slight preference for Stone!

Depends on the first name, but generally speaking, I like Stone better. It sounds strong and is easier to remember, since there's an instant visual association.

They are both very ordinary, perfectly fine names that do not have any strong class markers. Pick the one you like.

Is there any chance you'd also change your first name to Barry?

How about a compromise, and change it to Scone.

I like Scott, as I have a beautiful and elegant friend who is brilliant, funny and interesting, and that is her surname.
Stone is a great name though, so whichever fits best with your first name.
Eg Alice Scott/ Alice Stone - Stone is better
Deborah Scott/ Stone - Scott is better
Frances I think either
Helen - Scott is better
Nicky - either.

Genius

The “naice” words refers to a mn thread a few years back about a shopping list with “naice ham” which was meant to equate to finest type ham.

DH used to work with an A* Stone. She was a large lady and he always referred to her as A* Boulder.
Before the days of fat shaming being frowned upon.

Scottington-Stone is going in my top 10

Or Stottington-Scone...?

If you want it to be naice, then surely you need to change it to Ham?

Of the two, I think Scott is slightly nicer. No idea why.

I voted Scott but I quite like Scottstone pronounced as Flibberty suggested. So I’m gonna say do that.

One of these names is my married name so I’m very invested in the outcome 😁

Sconey - Stott

I would go for somethin more exciting
Duval-Scott
Avery -Scott
Scott -Earl
Trevelyan

What fun, do you like your first name. How about Olivia Duval-Scott

Don't restrict yourself to names you feel you have a "claim" to - you can have any name you like.

Looking through the French journal officiel for name changes, there have been changes such as

Mme Merda (equivalent Mrs Shitt) ---> Mme Honoré

M Salopar (equivalent Mr Arsehoal) ---> M Salomé

So go get creative

Both extremely average and unmemorable. Ditch them both and choose something else unless you have a totally fabulous first name.

Stone.

@kierenthecommunity

Stott, maybe? 🤔

Scoffington-Scone?
