[name]Just[/name] wondering what you think of the name [name]Scott[/name]??
For an adult in general and for a baby today.
I think it’s a classic. I like it.
I like it enough. It just feels like I know a hundred [name]Scott[/name]'s (most who are in their mid-forties.) I like the brevity of it, and how there’s the nickname [name]Scotty[/name] for when their little. But there’s something dated about it. Also, my teacher just told me the nickname of her fifty year old brother from childhood- [name]Scotty[/name] go Potty. That’s always going to stick out.
It’s nice enough and it ages well,but the associations are too much for me to use it.

I know a lot of [name]Scott[/name]'s and kids with the middle name [name]Scott[/name] between the ages of 5-13. I think it sounds fine and grows well.
[name]Scott[/name] is a name like [name]Finn[/name], or [name]Dane[/name]. There must be others in this group, too.
My 9 yr old is named Scott. He is the only Scott in his entire elementary school. No one says Scotty go potty…but he does get called Scooter as a nn sometimes.
Scott was #372 in 2011…not common at all. Names that are close in popularity on ssa.gov are Keith, Phillip, Walter, Dustin and Dexter.
I like the name quite a bit. That said, I have a friend named [name]Scott[/name], and he is one of the few people I know who doesn’t like his name, so I guess it’s not universally beloved.
I’ve always LOVED the name [name]Scott[/name]. It also happens to be my nephew’s name.
Unobjectionable. A friendly and masculine name.
I’ve always had a soft spot for [name]Scott[/name] and [name]Todd[/name] even though some people think they are dated.
I love [name]Scott[/name], I’d use it if it weren’t an immediate family member’s name. It’s one of those hidden gems that barely gets recognized. I’d consider it somewhat classic, very fresh and for some reason the adjective crisp comes to mind.
I know several Scotts, all of whom are currently in their thirties. It seems very dated (70s/80s) to me, but this is perhaps because of the demographic I know.
In addition, as a first name it’s always struck me as a bit weird since it’s basically [name]Scot[/name], as in Scottish person (I have much the same reaction to the name [name]Britt[/name], btw). I guess what I’m trying to say is that it just seems a bit too specific or descriptive or something, especially if you’re a [name]Scott[/name] who’s not a [name]Scot[/name].
When I was growing up, I knew a sibset named [name]Bonnie[/name], [name]Beth[/name], [name]Heather[/name] and [name]Scott[/name].
I think it is great! Short but sturdy.
