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!

@unmarkedbythat

Invent a new one and be the fabulous Ms Scottstone?

That just makes me think of Scotstoun a small area of Glasgow 😂

Neither are what I would call 'naice.'

It depends on your first name though, my first name sounds awful with both of those but one more so than the other.

As someone with both a first and last name that have multiple spellings, I'd say avoid Scott like the plague because you'll spend the rest of your life saying 'with two tees'.

Bit much now, hiding.

Scoffington-Scone?. 😂😂. Bloody brilliant, this gets my vote.

@MikeUniformMike

How about a compromise, and change it to Scone.

Or Doughnut. Spelled D' Onut to be extra celtic.

Scott is much better imo. Something about ‘stone’ just seems a little dour.

Scottston?

Scott for me. Stone sounds a bit stolid

I would go with Scott.
The first thing that comes to mind when I hear "Stone" is the convicted murderer, Michael.
The next is the language course "Rosetta Stone".

Araminta Stone = great
Joan Stone = nope.

Stone brings to mind Father Stone

The first thing that comes to mind when I hear "Stone" is the convicted murderer, Michael.

Yeah, but he will eventually be cleared. That’s the next big miscarriage of justice case.

Stone is most definitely the better of the two, but it really depends on your first name. Scott is surely the more common of the two. If you're going to change, make sure you change to something you're 100% happy with.

I'm currently in a similar predicament having decided to finally change my name. My maiden name is Smith, so I am NOT going back to that. I'm left with the surnames of three grandparents and I veer from one to the other depending on what day of the week it is/what frame of mind I'm in/what I've had for my tea/how much wine I've drunk.

Stone

Bucket. Surely that's the naicest name to be had?

Father Stone! He was the really boring one wasn't he?

Imagine if you had to pick a sur name from all of the sur names on Father Ted. I'd still pick Stone I think.

One considers that if one lives in Devon one would not use Scott, in case one met someone who thought you were related to Norman. Otherwise one does not favour one over the other.

Love this post.

I also had a claim to Scott when I changed my name, along with two other 'family' names...I went with one of the others (not Stone!).

But why be a Stone when you can be a Teacake?

I bloody loved that book as a kid and downloaded it on Audible a couple of years ago at the age of 40-something!

Scott - reminds me of the Julia Roberts character Anna Scott from the film Notting Hill; she was a movie star.

Stone makes me think of Sharon or Rolling, both of which I like but they are hardly 'posh', whatever that is.

You are being unreasonable for misspelling 'nice'; it has no 'a' in it.

Go for Stone. I mean why would you want a man's name as a surname anyway?

What is your Christian name? That will make a difference, surely.

Fr Ted names!
I'd go Sensini

Scoffington-Scone?. 😂😂. Bloody brilliant, this gets my vote.
