Girls name or major No?

[NurseJay]

I LOVE the name Scottie for a little girl but everyone seems to think I'm mad? Is it that bad? I think it sounds V cute

Yeah, it's cute.

I like that. Different, but not too different.

Good name.

I would worry how it translated when she is older.

Noo! Makes think of the little dog on a famous handbag brand. There are nice Scottish names: mhairi, catriona, davina, Ailish, Flora too I think.

It’s not a girls name though. Would you really want it to be your name? I wouldn’t.

And how does it sounds when she ceases to be cute? - as we all do.

It just makes me think of a yappy little dog with a tartan collar.

Ok as a nn but it's basically a dog's name.

F Scott Fitzgerald's dd was nn'd Scottie - real name Frances.

Actually I think that's cute. I like it!

All I can think of is "Beam me up Scotty". Also to me Scotty sounds more of a Nickname. Could you think of another name for the birth certificate?

I like it.

If you love it, use it.

So what if it's not a girls name, or sounds too cute for a grown up to some people.

She'll make it work for her, and you'll always regret not using it if you pick something else.

And you can guarantee that whatever name you do pick, someone else won't like it anyway.

And as Ninon said, it has literary heritage.

I quite like it. Haven't heard it before but I think it's a grower

Beam me up Scotty

Please just use it as a nn OP, if you have to use it at all.

As others have said, makes me think of ‘Beam me up Scotty’ and also of a dog.

I agree it’s cute, though, just not sure if I think it’s cute because it’s making me think of a dog, or if it’s cute in it’s own right...

Makes me think of a little dog. I wouldn't like to be a 20 something professional introducing myself as Scottie, sorry OP!

Really sorry OP Scottie (were it on a female or male) to me is a very American sounding teenagers name, also makes me think of the 1990s wrestler Scotty 2 Hotty

Awful. scottie dog or star trek.
Scarlett?

How about Scottina then she can choose Scottie or a more girlie name like Tina.

Please don't.
I mean, at least give her a proper name for the rest of her life, even if you call her that for fun at home.

No.

Tacking "ie" onto a boy's name doesn't really make it feminine.

How about Scarlett but nickname her Scottie.

Nope, sorry. It's cute in a dog kind of way but not a name for a baby girl to take through to adulthood imo.

Bonnie?

Oooh how about Scout?

It’s not a good name for a girl, but it may make a great nickname.

Fine if your surname is Scott and so Scottie becomes your nickname.

Otherwise, no.

Or Charlotte with Scottie rather than Lottie.

I really like it but would give her a traditional girls name as her middle name so she has options when shes older if she so wishes.
