[Opinions] WDYTO Scarlett?
I love this name, but it's a bit of a mouthful to use this all the time. I can't think of an appropriate, feminine sounding nickname for it. All I can think of is Scar, which is just awful. Any suggestions??

Carly?Scarlett is nice, but the scar part ruins the name a bit. Lett/Lettie, Carly, Arlie are all the NNs I can think of for now.

my name is Carly and i always thought of scarlett as a way to honour myself. Its cool how you saw that in scarlett as well.

Lettie?But personally I don't think it's a mouthful. It's a relatively short name IMO.

Lettie could work as a nn?

I don't think it needs a nickname. I don't think it's much of a mouthful at all. It's a two syllable name. I have a two syllable name, and I've never had a nickname.

I love Scarlett. I think it's too pretty to use a nn for because they're all horrible. I don't like Carly, Scar or Lettie and I can't think of any others. Scarlett is only two syllables so I think it would be perfectly fine not using a nn for.

I think it's pretty, prefer the spelling of Scarlet. I love the nickname Carly for it. Also Lettie is cute.

I loved GWTW but don't like Scarlett - I think of "scarlet woman" and "scar". There's a modern Hebrew name, Shani (shah-nee), meaning the same, so perhaps that could be the nn. It looks far-fetched but the link is in the "scarlet" meaning.
Having said that, unless the nn has one-syllable - why bother with one? Maybe "Shah"? from Shani?

I wouldn't use a nickname for Scarlett as I think it stands alone. However if you were to use one, my two ideas are Letty & Carly
