Comments for the name Scout

Bruce Willis's 2nd daughter is named Scout.

Scout is a cute name for a girl, but I don't see why it couldn't be for a boy too.

I knew a boy whose surname was Scout. If it's a surname, it can be a boy's name.

I think this is such an awesome name! It's cute, short, not too popular and to me it sounds really energetic, not like any lady-like name. I also love the character Scout in Harper Lee's book. What a beautiful name!

We just had our first daughter, after two sons. When I was pregnant I read To kill a Mockingbird and I knew right away that Scout was going to be the name for our daughter. And now she is here, Scout!

In To Kill A Mockingbird, Scout was only the character's nickname. Her real name was Jean Louise.

This is a cute name. It isn't my favorite, but I still find it unique, but not too far out there.

I like this name, but I'm not sure if it is better for a girl or a boy.

I'm not sure why I like this name, but I do. It doesn't seem very much like something to name a girl, but for some reason I really like it! Not for a boy though.

Scout works fine as a nickname but does not sound right for a first name, especially for a girl. I suppose it would be better suited for a boy if it must be used on a child.

I love this name! It's so cute!

This is one of the most hideous, poor, vulgar names I've ever heard. In my opinion, this name has no positive qualities and makes a disgusting name for both boys and girls. Sorry if I've offended anyone, but I have to speak my mind.

When I named my daughter Scout I had mixed reactions all around me. People either flat out hated it, or they loved it. Scout is a strong name that stands out.

It's just not an appealing name to me. I don't hate it, but I don't like it either.

I hate this name with a flaming passion. What sort of an idiot would actually name their child this? It's okay as a nickname for a little kid, but it's an utterly infantile official name for anyone, even for a child. This sounds like the name of a very obedient, reliable dog, not a person. The name isn't feminine-sounding despite girl scouts, and it doesn't sound very pleasant anyway. The name has no dignity, no maturity, and no class, even if there's nothing wrong with scouts per se. This sounds like a trailer park name, even as a nickname.

I love the book and movie To Kill a Mockingbird. I'd love to use Scout (Atticus, and Harper) someday. I think they would make a great sibling set.

This name is simple, sweet and strong. It's a perfect name for a precocious little girl!

Scout is not a legal name. It's a NICKNAME. It's like legally naming your child Bubba or Junior. If you like it that much, then give your daughter a real name and then call her Scout as a nickname.

I think this is a very cute name for like a pet or a character. As for a person, this sounds more like a nickname, but hey that's whatever you want to name your kid. I have no objections to it. It's a very cute name.

I have a friend named Scout. It fits her just right. I like it more as a real name rather than a nickname.

I love Scout, as a nickname and a legit name. Scout's real name in To Kill A Mockingbird is Jean Louise, so I think I would only ever use it as a nickname. Scout's adorable, sweet, and youthful, yet strong. It's not old-fashioned or overused at all.

I don't like the amount of criticism this name gets, but I recognise that Scout is a "love it or hate it" name, and personally, I love it. It's a beautiful name.

My parents were going to name me Scout. Which is pretty cool, it's such a great name and it would've totally fit me. Plus, I would never meet another girl with my name. But no they named me Madison. I've met, like, a million Madisons. But never a Scout.

Sooooo stupid! This name is given to girls by snobby Bobo (Bourgeois Bohemian) parents who fancy themselves literary and want to advertise their superiority by hanging this dumb name on their kids. It's a nickname! Even in the book, Scout was a nickname for a young tomboyish character. Do they think Scout Finch would have grown up and kept using this stupid nickname in her adult life? Of course not. Parents who choose this name are only one step up from white trash who name their girls Crystal or Jayden.

Come on guys. Scout from Team Fortress 2. It's all I can think of.

I'M GONNA HEADBUTTCHA I'M GONNA HEADBUTTCHA I'M GONNA *HEADBUTTCHA*

Say goodbye to your kneecaps, chucklehead! BONK!

BattaSWING! MAYJAH LEEEEEAGUE!

I did like Scout from To Kill a Mockingbird, but I don't like this as a name. It sounds tacky and ridiculous. Plus Scout is the character's NICKNAME, not her real name - she's actually named Jean. Why not name your daughter that instead?

A famous bearer is American actress Scout Taylor-Compton.
