Hi Berries,
I so apologize for the overload on posts regarding the name Scarlett, I have just fallen in love with the name recently and cannot get it out of my head! I appreciate all the help you’ve given in suggesting middles for Scarlett
https://forum.nameberry.com/t/middles-for-scarlett/372988?u=julianicole5
I now would love to hear any nickname ideas. I know Scar is a common one but I’d love to have you Berries help me find something a little more rare.
I cannot wait to read your replies! TIA

Lettie is my favorite but I also like [name_u]Ari[/name_u], and have heard [name_f]Carly[/name_f] used too. [name_f]Etta[/name_f] is also nice!
I think there’s some you could use based on initials, too, like [name_f]Sisi[/name_f] if you use [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] or [name_f]Essie[/name_f] for [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]?
Good luck!

Arley? A friend of mine is named [name_u]Arley[/name_u] (m) but for jokes we call him Arlequin. [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] is one of those name that just don’t have nicknames that aren’t stretched like [name_f]Etta[/name_f] or [name_f]Letty[/name_f]. If you have a nickname, it should be obvious or at least understandable what the long name is…not “What’s [name_f]Etta[/name_f] short for? [name_f]Harriet[/name_f]? Oh Scarlett? Wouldn’t have ever seen that one coming. I didn’t know [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] could have a nickname!” That’s like [name_f]Lilly[/name_f] being short for [name_f]Camilla[/name_f] and not [name_f]Lillian[/name_f]. I love the name [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f], but I think if you want a nickname, choose another name and save [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] for the middle name!

seconding red! i don’t like nicknames that are of the end rather than the front because then it’s not obvious what it’s short for (etta could be harriet, colette, violet, literally any -ette/-et name.) but i LOVE nicknames/pet names of the meanings of common names. i knew an arella that was always called “goldie” bc arella means golden and her hair was blonde. i don’t think red should be a full time nickname, just a pet name for fun! it’s a great call out in school, during sports, when you want her to come over, red is a short and sweet name! and it’s clear why people call her red, because the gorgeous scarlet color is her name, scarlett!
