Scout

[thismeansnothing]

Me and DH were playing around on the Kinder app and one of our few matches was Scout. DH had never even considered it and the more he thinks about it the more he loves it. I feel like hormones have made me slightly insane around names.

So what does the mumsnet jury think?

It is such an adorable name!! Wanted to name my daughter it but my mum didn’t like it

Are you pregnant? I came up with some corkers mid pregnancy which dh also liked (he had no excuse). I look at our careful thoughtful 12 year old and am so relieved I came to my senses.

Scout is proper daft sorry.

A good test is whether you would like that name yourself. Imagine introducing yourself to new work colleagues as “Scout” because there’s your answer,

Awful, sorry. The character wasn’t even really called Scout, it was a nickname.

It's my dd's middle name so I love it!

It’s my daughters middle name, we all love it 😊

@chloejean, why did it matter if your Mum didn’t like it. My Nan didn’t like my DS name but I didn’t care, as long as you like it that’s all that matters

Bruce Willis.

I love it.

Horrible. I would hate to be called Scout.

I actually love it and taught a teenage Scout a few years back. It was awesome on her and that’s why I like it so much.

However, it kind of screams ‘I did GCSE English!’. Also - I don’t like the book. I have the same problems with Atticus.

Love it and have it on my list - we’re having a boy which I think would make it more difficult to get away with but I say go for it!
