[name_m]Hi[/name_m] all,
Due in 5 weeks with baby number 1, gender is a surprise but I wanted to get a vote on the two names on my girls list. [name_m]Long[/name_m] time name nerd but I’m finding it very hard to commit to one name!
Which do you prefer?
[name_u]Scout[/name_u]
[name_f]Alba[/name_f]
Middle names are still undecided, but I wanted something definitely girly if we go with [name_u]Scout[/name_u]. I was thinking [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], [name_u]Everly[/name_u], [name_f]Sadie[/name_f]. - suggestions welcome!
I prefer [name_u]Scout[/name_u].
[name_f]Alba[/name_f] still sounds like a surname to me. Which is necessary a bad thing but not my style.
I think you can go more girly for a middle.
[name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] nn [name_u]Scout[/name_u]!
From your list, I like [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] [name_f]Olena[/name_f], [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], and [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] [name_u]Everly[/name_u]. Not from your list, but I like [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] [name_f]Hope[/name_f].
Congratulations on getting it down to two names! I’m 2 weeks away and still undecided.
Both names are really cool and at first I wasn’t sure which one stood out more for me but [name_u]Scout[/name_u] wins (just). I like [name_u]Scout[/name_u] [name_u]Everly[/name_u] out of your choices but also [name_u]Scout[/name_u] [name_f]Florence[/name_f] or [name_u]Scout[/name_u] [name_u]Valentine[/name_u].
Oh you are all amazing! Thank you for the input! I’ve never thought about [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] nn [name_u]Scout[/name_u], but I do like this a lot. I also love valentine as a middle seeing as we are due on feb 14th!
As someone who really dislikes unisex names, I think the suggestion of [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f], nn [name_u]Scout[/name_u] is wonderful. She can have a gorgeous full name, a spunky nn, and go back and forth as she grows up.
I have a strong preference for [name_f]Alba[/name_f]. I like [name_u]Scout[/name_u] as a nickname, but I wouldn’t use it on the birth certificate (though of course this is a queston of personal preferences/styles).
I like [name_f]Alba[/name_f] paired with [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] or [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] out of your middle name choices.
I love [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] ([name_u]Scout[/name_u] for a nickname) and that gives her more options. [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] [name_u]Valentine[/name_u] is swoon-worthy!
I like [name_u]Scout[/name_u] as a nickname. I wouldn’t personally consider it as a full name because it is so nicknamey. [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] nickname [name_u]Scout[/name_u] is perfect.
I like [name_f]Alba[/name_f], though. If I had to choose between [name_f]Alba[/name_f] vs [name_u]Scout[/name_u] (as a full name), I’d choose [name_f]Alba[/name_f]. If [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] nickname [name_u]Scout[/name_u] is an option then I would choose that over all three options.
If I were going off preference, definitely [name_f]Alba[/name_f]. But I try to read the original post. To me, [name_f]Alba[/name_f] is one style with [name_f]Leonore[/name_f] and [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f]. [name_u]Scout[/name_u] feels more like [name_f]Alaska[/name_f] and [name_f]Sonnet[/name_f]- names you really like but he isn’t into. If he is happy with [name_u]Scout[/name_u], especially as a nn for [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f], I feel like that’s a huge win and the route I would probably take
Scout Beatrix would be so cute! Scout Leonore, too. Another thing that I would like is Beatrix Scout or Scarlett Leonore, but you call her Scout with another name to fall back on.
