[name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] is most intuitive for me. With [name_f]Scarlet[/name_f] the ‘scar’ bit stands out a bit too much for me, I automatically get a sort of dark image from it of healing wounds that will scar.

I think [name_f]Scarlette[/name_f] seems overdone but I can definitely see the appeal.

I like [name_f]Scarlet[/name_f] because it reminds me of the colour, and I don’t see the point in adding extra letters into a word that’s already well established. I’m not generally fond of extraneous letters in names, although I acknowledge that [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] is the typically accepted “name” version of the word.

I think if you like the look of [name_f]Scarlette[/name_f], it’s a reasonable enough variant that you could use.

I usually spell it [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f], probably because I’m used to writing [name_u]Emmett[/name_u], [name_u]Everett[/name_u] and [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] like that too.

[name_f]Scarlette[/name_f] is a bit too much for me, but I don’t think it would be too big of a problem.

I voted for [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f], though I’m never sure. The double t looks a little unnecessary but then the single t looks like its missing something.

[name_f]Scarlette[/name_f] I’d pronounce with more emphasis on the ‘ette’.

I prefer the look of [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f]. [name_f]Scarlet[/name_f] looks incomplete and [name_f]Scarlette[/name_f] is a bit over the top; like [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f], [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f], [name_f]Violette[/name_f], etc.
