Scarlett?

Foolishly said in jest to DH (I do kind of like it too)

Now he's hooked on the name and I'm not sure.

What do you think?

Too noisy?

Too brash?

Or a lovely big personality name?

I love it. Actually, as gone with the wind is my favourite film of all time (and we both love the names) dh and I have agreed that if this ones a girl she'll be Kate Scarlett (Katie while shes little Wink) so, yes, definately gets my vote.

Scarlett was on my list until DH vetoed it... I love it because I think of Scarlett Johansson, who in my opinon is a beautiful looking girl and you never read bad press about her... he doesn't like because it reminds him of her (yet he thinks she is pretty) go figure!

I do like it, but wouldn't have it as

1-my OH hated it
2-i know loads under the age of 5
3-its very much a name of the noughties

There was a baby born the same time as DS called Scarlett. She had jaundice. Yes, I was sympathetic but did allow myself a small Grin at the irony.

I love it, but then I'm biased- my daughter is a Scarlett.

Would have been top of my list until a friend used it. Lovely.

It became very popular after actress Scarlett Johanssen became big about ten years ago.

I dont like it, it's not a gentle name, it's quite harsh pronounciation. Also the colour, it's really a strong colour, depends if you like it, personally i prefer softer greens and blues.

But the important thing really is if you like it, you will be saying it for years, that's why i would prefer something softer myself

My DD is Scarlet (not scarlet). Really suits her, very loud and in your face!
Often gets shorted to Scarly (Hate Scar), Also Toilet?
If I had to pick again I wouldn't pick Scarlet but as i said it does really suit her and we don't know anyothers. Also remember when there being really naughty that "tomorrows another day"!

I love it-but then I would as it's my Dds name too!
