Grace or Scarlett? (Has arrived early!)

[JoannaS1988]

Our little girl is a few weeks early, so we'd like to finalise. I think I would be sold on Scarlett, but she's having my surname (begins with an s, so it makes me unsure...)

Which do you prefer?

Awww congratulations

I love Scarlett

Congratulations!

I like both names but a friend's little Scarlett always gets her name shortened to Scar which I hate!

Grace.

Scarlett

Scarlett.

Congratulations!

Scarlett. Congratulations 🎈

I'd go for Scarlett. I avoided Grace because my surname also begins with an S and it felt as if it "ran on" because Grace ends with the same sound. Congratulations!

Scarlet is slang for embarrassed or mortified in Ireland, so I'd go for Grace to be honest.

Definitely Scarlett from me - ESPECIALLY because your name begins with S.

Since I got married my name and surname start with the same sound - I really like it, makes me sound like a newsreader :)

Scarlett is lovely !

My surname starts with an S and both my DD's have middle names with an S sound (Rose and Grace). It sounds good. What about Scarlett with Grace as the middle name. Sounds lovely.

Scarlett

Both names are lovely. The only thing that bothers me with Scarlett is that people also use the spelling Scarlet and I would be worried about having to correct people. Saying that I would probably still choose Scarlett over Grace

Grace

Scarlett! Especially as your surname begins with an S. I love alliterative names!

Scarlett. Grace was very popular for a while and lots of middle name graces about
