Thoughts on this as a girls name?

[fairydustt]

Scottie - for a girl.. I’m curious as to what the responses would be on this name today, as I just read a thread from 2018 where this name got slated, and I was quite surprised so it got me wondering it people would have the same reactions to it today..

the thread I read had the majority of the commenters saying it was an awful girls name, it was ridiculous, it was a boys name, she would get made fun of, the poster should think about her child, she’d be called a dog etc etc but I think compared to a lot of names we hear nowadays.. Scottie sounds kind of normal!? What do you think? Is it still a crazy name?

Sorry it's ridiculous. I had a Scottie dog when I was a child and that's what it makes me think of.

Yes.
Save that for the 75 year old legendary singer.

Possibly. But he’s universally known as Scottie. Just as the King’s younger son Prince Henry is universally known as Harry.

Anyone remember scotty 2 hotty 🤣

Me too

I think it’s fine! Would class it with Scottie, Stevie, Bobbie, etc. There’s a certain coolness to it.

I would assume you were talking about your dog if you mentioned Scotty.

It's a bit strange and sounds like a nickname.

I suppose it's not significantly different from Lottie, Dottie, etc, but the dog connotations would put me off.

That was my first pets name! I named him at age 3. I loved that bunny so much. Not a human name in my opinion, sorry OP 🙂

Terrible sorry.

🎵Scottie doesn't knowwwww🎵

No. It’s like a nickname

I think it’s really nice but only as a nickname she would go by with something longer that would be her full name.

I was suppose to type without the T!

so rather than Scot Tea it would be more like Scot Ee

Sorry if that’s makes no sense, the only way I can think to describe it

Awful

Not for a girl.
I also think Stevie sounds odd for a girl.
I also wouldn't use it for a boy. I would use the name Scott. Who of course may get called Scottie but that's fine.

Ludicrous comparison. 🙄 Stevie is clearly a diminutive of Stephanie.

Even so, calling a girl Stevie - and having this on her birth certificate (not a shortened version of anything,) would be as ridiculous as bloody Scottie for a girl!

Scottie is a boy's name FGS. It is not a diminutive of any girl's name!

.

Why don't you call her Trevor if you don't like girl's names much?

Did you want a boy?

I think it’s very nice - but of course people will ask you questions about it.

As nicknames, Stevie and Bobbie (short for Stephanie and Roberta) are both fine... for girls.

Scottie is not a shortened name of any girl's name. It's ludicrous to even think about Scottie for a girl. 🙄

Ah see Bobbie is top of my list for a girl currently! Although I would have Robin nn Bobbie, Bobbie is fine on its own though too

makes me think of Scottie dog sorry awful Name for a girl maybe not so
Bad for a boy

Well no, I actually have a boy, and am not currently pregnant nor am I trying to get pregnant right now, this is a completely hypothetical discussion about a non existent baby girl that everyone’s getting their knickers in a twist over. There is no baby that is going to potentially be called Scottie.. nor did I ever actually say there was.. if you read my OP properly.

What about Frankie? I know a Frankie who is Frankie on her birth certificate

Tbh your OP wasn’t very clear no where did you say you weren’t pg you may want to change your headline
