What am I missing?

LoneStar · June 20, 2020, 8:00pm

Not expecting, but my name list has begun to feel a bit stale over the past several months, so what would you name a sister to [name_u]Scout[/name_u]?

Preferable criteria (but willing to bend on pretty much all of it for the right name)

“goes” with [name_u]Scout[/name_u]
relatively uncommon
last name is a common patronymic so prefer nothing that ends in -son or something similar
tend to like preppy, nature, or literary names

Some favorites in no particular order:
[name_f]Greer[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]
[name_f]Juno[/name_f]
[name_u]Vale[/name_u]
[name_u]Indie[/name_u]
[name_f]Saffron[/name_f]
[name_m]Adler[/name_m]
[name_f]Birdie[/name_f]
[name_u]Beck[/name_u]
[name_u]Kit[/name_u]
[name_u]Fifer[/name_u]

[name_u]Sage[/name_u]

morgantaylore · June 20, 2020, 8:34pm

I love you list!!!

Scout and [name_f]Greer[/name_f] and [name_u]Scout[/name_u] and [name_u]Kit[/name_u] are perfect.

I would only add [name_u]Blair[/name_u] and [name_u]Billie[/name_u]. Maybe [name_u]Sloan[/name_u]?

LoneStar · June 20, 2020, 9:10pm

Thanks! [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] & [name_f]Clover[/name_f] are both on my list. I like [name_u]Sunny[/name_u] too!

LoneStar · June 20, 2020, 9:12pm

You have a good read on my taste! [name_u]Blair[/name_u], [name_u]Alcott[/name_u], [name_u]Sloane[/name_u], [name_u]Sage[/name_u], and [name_u]Aspen[/name_u] are all on my list.

I also like [name_u]Adair[/name_u] & [name_u]Tate[/name_u] but they’re unusable for us unfortunately.

LoneStar · June 20, 2020, 9:13pm

Thank you! I’m quite partial to [name_u]Fifer[/name_u] also.

I love [name_u]Wilde[/name_u], [name_u]Hero[/name_u], and [name_u]Cricket[/name_u] but unfortunately agree with you on [name_u]Bay[/name_u] probably being unusable at this point.

LoneStar · June 20, 2020, 9:15pm

Thank you! I love [name_u]Blair[/name_u] & [name_u]Sloan[/name_u](e)

broberry · June 20, 2020, 9:34pm

Ooh [name_u]Scout[/name_u] and [name_u]Tempest[/name_u]. [name_u]Tempest[/name_u] is an all time guilty pleasure of mine. I met the cutest little firecracker of a girl named [name_u]Tempest[/name_u] years ago and have loved the name since.

broberry · June 20, 2020, 9:41pm

Echoing others and your list:

Scout and [name_u]Fifer[/name_u]
[name_u]Scout[/name_u] and [name_u]Sloan[/name_u](e)
[name_u]Scout[/name_u] and [name_f]Clover[/name_f]
[name_u]Scout[/name_u] and [name_f]Greer[/name_f]
[name_u]Scout[/name_u] and [name_u]Tempest[/name_u]
[name_u]Scout[/name_u] and [name_u]Beck[/name_u]

Other ideas:

Scout and [name_u]Grove[/name_u]
[name_u]Scout[/name_u] and [name_u]Arlo[/name_u]
[name_u]Scout[/name_u] and [name_u]Clarke[/name_u]

LoneStar · June 20, 2020, 9:43pm

Ohhhh adding [name_u]Grove[/name_u] to my list for sure! I probably like it slightly more for a boy than a girl but great either way.

MichelleM · June 20, 2020, 10:41pm

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.

I think that [name_f]Juno[/name_f] or [name_u]Kit[/name_u] are perfect w/Scout. I really love [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] though in general. And [name_f]Saffron[/name_f] is super cool!

A few other ideas-

[name_u]Briar[/name_u]

[name_f]Cleo[/name_f]

[name_f]Calla[/name_f]

[name_f]Gerty[/name_f]

[name_u]Sparrow[/name_u]

[name_f]Sadie[/name_f]

[name_f]Tess[/name_f]

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps.

You have a really distinctive aesthetic! It’s bohemian, but in a preppy, spunky way rather than a dreamy or a crunchy way.

Thanks! I’ve always loved [name_f]Lola[/name_f] but wonder if it’s too overtly feminine next to [name_u]Scout[/name_u]. And I actually think [name_f]Zella[/name_f] is a family name I’d completely forgotten about. Great idea!

LoneStar · June 21, 2020, 1:22am

Tamsin! [name_u]Darcy[/name_u] and [name_f]Winnie[/name_f] are also great but unfortunately off the table.
