I’m really not sure whether I prefer Scarlet or Scarlett but my heart leans closer to Scarlet. It’s an actual color and word, meanwhile Scarlett just looks like somebody accidentally pressed another ‘t’ in the keyboard. I find Scarlet to be a very beautiful and elegant name. Not boring at all. The color gives it a nice extravagant and seductive feel. Scarlet is a nice name. I give it a 8/10.

My name is Scarlet, and I've never really liked my name. I don't know if it's just what I think of myself, but I have always thought it was a bit boring. I don't hate it, but I think it's a little plain.

Prefer this to the other spelling. I am currently reading the Lunar Chronicles and the character Scarlet Benoit is one of my favorites. She is fiery, brave, and kind, although since she had red hair it’s pretty obvious why the name was chosen.
This name never used to be one I liked until recently, since it works more for fictional characters than a real person due to it being so common now, but I still like the sound of it.

My spouse Fabian wanted to name our little girl Scarlet. I explained why I didn’t like the name. It is not refined and it was rough to us. He understood that it simply didn’t work. Last minute.. oh! I thought Charlotte was pretty and refined and close to Scarlet. We knew we both had to agree on the name. Charlotte was also a classy, 1900s classic name. We loved it. Fits perfect.
Scarlet(t) and Charlotte are both good names. However, Charlotte suited us better personally.

Scarlet is my name and I love it. Everyone comments on it and how beautiful and unique it is. I love my name. I always tell my mom, if she wouldn't have named me Scarlet, I would name a kid Scarlet. I really like how it has the color spelling. I feel special with my name! My friends call me Scarlet usually, but some call me Scarly/Scarli and Scarleteee!

If you name your kid this, she's bound to be called Scarlet the harlot at some point. This is a name that should be left as a color and not used as a name.

I have a love-hate relationship with this name. I LOVE it because it is not very common and it is very fiery and intense; but at the same time I dislike it for the fact that I have heard that a "Scarlet woman" refers to a prostitute, and it also rhymes with harlot, which is another term for a prostitute.
"Scarlet Willow" was at the top of my girl's name list for a while, but it trickled its way down for the reasons stated above. I would not want anyone to make fun of my future daughter and tease her about the name.
Are there any Scarlets out there who have had this problem?

Scarlet is the name of the little girl in Silent Hill Homecoming who was sacrificed for a weird ritual, and is also the name of the monster that "she becomes", the giant doll you fight in Hell Descent. Because of this, I really like this name.

From the Cambridge History of Western Textiles (D T Jenkins)
"In all Western European languages the words for 'Scarlet' developed first as a noun for the textile itself and only later became to be applied as an adjective to describe the colour. Furthermore, even though many woolen scarlets did indeed have that rich red colour, perhaps most by the very end of the Middle Ages, many had instead been dyed in a wide variety of other colours - and some were even considered to be 'white'."

Scarlets were very fine and expensive woolen cloths. Common in Medieval England. Scarlet cloth could also be green, blue, brown or white. The most common was crimson or carmine red hence Scarlet now being chiefly a colour word.
During the reign of Henry VIII, crimson/carmine red Scarlet was forbidden to servants. It was considered a very distinguished color. Some laws even forbade certain "classes" from wearing it.

This spelling has a longer period of use as a girl's name. It's beautiful and full of zing. I would rather see this over muddy Sienna.

The first daughter of Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page is Scarlet. I can't decide whether or not I like it with one or two t's. If I had a son I would name him Phoenix and possibly my daughter Scarlet. Both bear the meanings of a deep, dark red, which is cute. It seems to look overdone as "Scarlett" but "Scarlet" is the straight color that you WILL find on a Crayola crayon.

I really like "Scarlet" more than "Scarlett". I don't know why. I guess its spelling is more unusual. I would name my daughter like this.

Also, it would probably get misspelled as Scarlett a lot. I actually know a girl with this name, and people are constantly spelling it Scarlett. She seems very annoyed by this.
