Comments for SCARLETT:
Famous bearer of the name: Scarlett Johansson (actress).-- Mary-Rach 8/10/2005
I think Scarlett is such a strong name for a girl. Scarlett is deep red, and with red you think passion. It's a name for a passionate, strong-willed girl. I love the name.-- stace87 10/27/2005
A beautiful, lovely name.-- doodlebug 11/23/2005
This is a beautiful name. I think it sounds fiery.
P.S. I am writing a book and one of my characters is named this.-- wefrox 12/2/2005
Scarlett was the name of a character in the film Four Weddings and a Funeral.-- Anonymous User 12/13/2005
My name is Scarlett and I mostly say it's not really the best name to grow up with, as not many people have this name so you get teased.-- Scarlett-Mad 12/19/2005
Sometimes shortened to "Scarly".-- icewind 1/31/2006
This is my first name. Nicknames for this name are Scar, Scarly, and Letty. It gets annoying when people automatically think Gone With The Wind when they hear my name.-- scas91 2/24/2006
Name of a character in the movie "How to Deal".-- claraelizabethann 3/12/2006
Scarlett O'Hara was the character played by Vivien Leigh in "Gone With The Wind".-- rosco kid 3/24/2006
I find the name a bit cold and harsh. Not really any good nicknames either.-- Anonymous User 5/24/2006
Wrong, there is a really good nickname for Scarlett, Scarley. I think good names for twin girls would be Charlotte and Scarlett. You could call them Charle and Scarle! Cute. I don't see why people don't name twins, triplets and so on really cute names that nearly sound the same, I think it's cute.-- Philippa 9/2/2006
The reason people don't name their twins and triplets cutesey names that sound almost alike is because twins and triplets are individual people, and the names could get confusing. Though I love both Charlotte and Scarlett, and could see myself using one of them, I would never name one child Scarlett and the other Charlotte.-- Likeyeahwhatev 6/16/2009
I think this name is sooo beautiful, but I despise the nickname Scar! That's why I think it's better for a middle name. One combo I love is Anastasia Scarlett.-- Mommy2B 5/24/2006
You don't hear this name enough, it's beautiful. =)-- Anonymous User 6/22/2006
This is my name and I've never gotten teased or had the nickname Scar or anything related to Scar. My nickname was Star. Scarlett rhymes with Starlett=Star. Why does every name need a nickname? I don't get that. I've always loved it as my name. I was always the only one. Maybe some girls can't carry it well which leads to teasing but I have since day one! Suits me great.-- scarletcorset 8/6/2006
I love this name! The name "Carley" can be used for Scarlett, which I think is much prettier than "Scarley".-- 1crzychick 10/1/2006
I asked my friend if she liked the name "Scarlett" and she said "No, Scarlett is such a slutty name." I kind of have to agree with her. I think that it's weird naming your child after a color. I think that kids should have normal names (Michael, Elizabeth, ...) But they could have cooler nicknames. I've been told that it's easier for a person to get a job if they have a common or classic type name.-- Anonymous User 10/3/2006
I agree that this name seems cold.-- stuckonstupid 10/4/2006
I like this color name. I like color and flower names. They add variety to names. However, I don't like the nickname "Scar" or "Scarley". Those are just plain ugly.-- Emma McHnery 10/18/2006
In the board game Cluedo, Miss Scarlett (Miss Scarlet in the "Clue" edition of the game) is the stock femme fatale character. She is typically portrayed as young, sinister, and beautiful. She was played by Lesley Ann Warren in the 1985 film.-- Emmasj 10/27/2006
I have to agree with the other posters, no offense intended, but I find the name cold and I think Scarley is a horrible nickname. If anything, Carley/Carly would be the best nickname. I also have to agree with the above poster who said "it's easier for a person to get a job if they have a common or classic type name." I have also read about this and it also applies to kids in school when it came to teachers assigning grades and marking papers.-- Anonymous User 10/27/2006
It is ridiculous to say that teachers are influenced by the name a person has when marking papers and assigning grades. Either an answer is right, or it is wrong. Also, teachers just don't pull grades out of thin air. I think a girl named Scarlett would do just fine.-- KrisMichelle 6/12/2007
Elegant, youthful and exuberant classic. Scarlett has been in moderate use as first name since the 1840's in England (some recorded even earlier)
The courageous and determined Hester Prynne (The Scarlet Letter) just increases my affection for this antique. Vivian Leigh's Scarlet O'Hara is another lovely association. A tempestuous, headstrong, stylish and courageous beauty.-- Anonymous User 11/6/2006
This is a classic and a lovely. Some people think of "Scar" or negatively of the name since it has a cold/negative appeal but, I believe it's a beautiful name and any girl should be proud to have it - it ages nicely too. It sounds like a exotic, firey and a passionate name. It will always get my vote.-- pixiedust86 12/31/2006
Scarlett Pomers plays Kyra Hart on the television series "Reba".-- Missy 1/24/2007
I know a girl named Scarlet and eveyone calls her Scarling (Yes, like the band). Her dad came up with it from a mixture of Scarlet and darling.
Everyone loves it.-- Stella92 1/30/2007
Scarlett is so classy sounding I just love it. :)-- EgYpTiAn PrInCeSs 2/2/2007
The only reason why Scarlett seems slutty is because of its use in media to portray sluts. I think it's a beautiful name.-- Faith 2/25/2007
I personally love this name because it is my name Scarlett Emeline. My name is very classy and kind of femme fatale but it's unique and strong. I love my name paired with my twin brother's, Rhys Desmond.-- Anonymous User 3/14/2007
I actually like this name. It gives off a kind of sophisticated feel and how can a name be slutty?! I always thought it was the person who has the name that is slutty, not the name itself. Anyway I personally love this name and think it is quite unique compared to the names of Emily or Brittany.-- Anonymous User 3/31/2007
I like this name, it doesn't seem trashy to me. I don't like the nicknames, but not everyone needs a nickname. It's only two syllables, after all.-- Anonymous User 4/3/2007
I would like to add something about the name of Scarlett. In the famous story of Robin Hood, there is the character Will Scarlett to be considered. He is often portrayed as being 'hot-headed', and a lover of fine clothes. He is commonly described as wearing red silk and it may be these things that gave him his name. One of the most famous depictions of Will Scarlett is played by Christian Slater in Robin Hood: The Prince of Thieves. He is portrayed as Hood's illegitimate younger brother, and in folklore and legend is often a nephew of cousin of Hood, though it is not known if he was a relation or not.
Anyway - Just an interesting person who does justice to the name Scarlett that I thought would be worth mentioning!-- LizzieBee 4/8/2007
This has always been one of my favorite names. My fiancee and I have decided that if we ever have a daughter, her name will be Scarlett Bell ______.-- VeryGorgeous 4/24/2007
I love this name but there is one downfall. It was the name of Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With the Wind. I thought of her as a wild "hartlet" of a girl. I'm not sure I would want to name my child something that would remind me of that. But again, I do think it is a pretty name and who would really think of Scarlett O'Hara now days?-- Anonymous User 6/6/2007
I love this name, it is my favorite, and I love Scarlett O'Hara. I don't think of a "slut" when I hear this name.
As a side-note, Margaret Mitchell originally named her main character "Pansy O'Hara" but the editor (publisher?) suggested she change it to something that fits the character's personality better. I think that Scarlett does just that. Pansy would hardly have been the same.-- VictoriaCalledTori 7/9/2007
I love the name Scarlett - I've always loved the way it sounds, to me it seems like an edgier, more passionate Charlotte. But I've never met anyone who goes by Scarlett whose parents gave her the name.-- Anonymous User 8/22/2007
I think this is a bold, vivacious type of name. It would fit the person if they were strongwilled and headstrong (although not too much.) :)-- Lone_Butterfly 9/20/2007
Since English is not my native language, I always thought it odd that the name was Scarlett, with the double T instead of Scarlet, as in the color. Can anyone tell me why it is? Also, I think Scar is an awful nickname!-- Anonymous User 9/21/2007
Yes, Scarlett is a beautiful name but it is just too closely associated with Gone With the Wind. Since it wasn't used as a first name before that book was published, it's obvious if you use this name that you lifted it from the book. And for some reason I find that embarrassing.-- queenv 10/10/2007
My name is Scarlett Elizabeth. I never had a nickname. People have always called me Scarlett. I can see how it wouldn't fit a certain personality but it suits me and I've always carried it well. I had a daughter a few months ago and named her Lily Scarlett.-- Anonymous User 10/11/2007
Contrary to some previous comments, Scarlett was in use as a girl's name long before Margaret Mitchell's novel. Scarlet even longer. It's rich and beauteous and a bit of a upper class choice here.-- Anonymous User 10/19/2007
This is my daughter's name and I love it. Her middle name is Rose. I think it goes quite well.-- jenni33 11/6/2007
Scarlett Thomas was the name of a character in the Sarah Dessen teen novel, "Someone Like You". She is the best friend of protagonist Halley.-- scholasticastewart 11/11/2007
I don't know why, because it looks like 'little scar', but there's something very likeable about this name - the two Ts are cute. I think it would be better on an American, though, as 'scarlet woman' is a term for prostitute in the UK, which is rather off-putting. It also makes me think of Captain Scarlet. :)-- Anonymous User 11/16/2007
This name is just sooo beautiful! I love how sophisticated, lady-like it sounds. A classic. It also makes me think of the scarlet fever but, oh well, nothing is perfect. I love the name anyways!-- Anonymous User 11/19/2007
This is the name of one of the characters in "Pirates of the Caribbean." She is one of the people who likes in Tortuga.-- flamestar 12/29/2007
This name reminds me of a spoiled brat.-- Honeyrose 1/4/2008
Fire and class. Think further back than Margaret Mitchell's modern novel. I prefer Scarlet as it has longer use on both sexes as a name and it was also the name of the expensive woolen cloth used in Medieval England. Interestingly, Scarlet cloth was not always red. The colour connection came later.-- Anonymous User 2/22/2008
This is an awesome name, and I would use it myself if it wasn't so obnoxiously popular because of the inspiration of Scarlett Johansson. The name sounds cool and spunky as well as classy, sophisticated, and mature, with a sort of exquisite feel to it. This spelling looks nicer somehow.-- slight night shiver 5/5/2008
In South America, people started to use a variant of Scarlett, they're using Scarlatt or Scarlat in Latin America because of Latin.-- Anonymous User 5/23/2008
Love it but the second t looks superfluous.-- Anonymous User 5/30/2008
I find it very snooty and upmarket but in a bold and brash way.-- Anonymous User 6/3/2008
An upcoming famous band in Canada and the U.S is Ill Scarlett.-- carly_ann 7/18/2008
Scarlett is a character in Cathy Cassidy's book of the same name.-- rachypiesheepbaa 7/29/2008
I love this name, because I love Scarlett O'Hara. However, I think that association is way too strong for some people. I don't care for Scarlett Johansson, so I don't worry about that.-- bananarama 8/15/2008
Jack White of The White Stripes has a baby daughter named Scarlett White.-- Lady_Skywalker 9/26/2008
I think it is very snotty and pretentious.-- Anonymous User 12/20/2008
I love the name Scarlett. As a matter of fact 4 years ago I named my daughter that, except I decided to make it original. I spell her name Skarlette and her middle name is Rose. So her name means Red Rose.-- shanika 2/25/2009
It's lovely. Very vibrant.
However, I don't understand the need to annihilate the spelling. Skarlette, Skarlotte, Skarlytte. I've seen them all. May as well tattoo CHAV or BOGAN across the poor child's forehead.-- Anonymous User 3/3/2009
My name is Scarlett. When I was younger I really didn't like it, but now that I've gotten older I think it's really cool because no one else that I know has my name. It's original without being super crazy, and I think its really pretty. My middle name is Victoria so I have the whole English-elegant sound going on. Also, I have red hair, so the meaning of "Scarlett" is red and it helps people remember what it is. Overall I LOVE my name! =)-- SummerSerendades 4/12/2009
The meaning of Scarlett isn't red, although it has that association via the Scarlet spelling which refers to the red colouring. Previously scarlet just denoted a very expensive type of woolly cloth which came in a variety of colours, the most prized being red.-- Anonymous User 4/26/2009
I think this name is feminine and pretty. I kind of like Scar as a nickname, too, LOL. But the spellings some people offer, I feel, take away from the beauty, rather than enhance it. "Scarlette" might be an interesting twist?-- Gothiclovesick 5/3/2009
Cute but it sounds kinda old to me.-- Lexi_Love14 7/6/2009
I love this name! I also like Scarletta which was my friend's sister's name! The name is beautiful and fun.-- italiannames 8/16/2009
