Re: A feminine full name for Scottie?
in reply to a message by Lumi
I thought Stevie on a girl was bad (I think it's pretty lame on a boy too) but Scottie is even worse.
I wouldn't use Scholastica since it sounds too much like a nun's chosen name.
I guess Scarlett, or Scotland or Scotlyn if you're into that.
Also just possibly Scotia, as in Nova, though I never heard of anyone being named that.Charlotte?Even on some guys, Scottie isn't a nn for the fn Scott; sometimes Scott is the last name.But generally, I think that most of the people naming their daughters Scottie are doing so *because* it's a "cute" nn, and people naming them Scarlett or Scotland aren't using a nn.Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
