yea my guy said "scout as in... (putting his hand over his eyes as if he was looking out at something) what is that over yonder?" and i said "no. scout as in 'to kill a mockingbird'..." :/

i really love it and it makes me sad a) that my guy doesnt and b) that my cousin used it so now i cant.

aww, i love scout [for a girl!]

I like Scout, but more so for a girl because of the book:)

I can feel your pain about cousins taking names. Most of mine are starting to get married and have kids.

thats the thing that irks me, i absolutely LOVE it on a girl. i really cant picture it on a boy.

I like Scout for a boy, but I don't really like it as a first name.

I like Arden a lot, actually.

What a... natural... sibset. I actually like all of the names (Scout's NMS but it's not awful either), but together I think it's a little overwhelming. Arden means "valley" or something, right?

I like the name Scout, but moreso for a nickname (Like in *Gasp* To Kill a Mockingbird, haha) or pet name.

When we got our first rabbit, I almost named her Scout, but the husband won that battle and she ended up being Booey.

I think Forrest and Scout are a bit much for brothers...they should name the next one Ranger ;P

[hardtogetover.livejournal.com]

I really like it for that reason too.

I'm pretty sure I'm not having kids, but just in case I'm keeping the names I like to myself just in case my brother gets there first.

Love Love Love!

I prefer Scout on girls, but Scout Thomas is still pretty cute. I think that it's a really nice sibset.

Scout is cute but I know two dogs named Scout.

I love the name Arden, though.

Like everyone above, its ok for a girl. But I do really like Forrest. :)

[classiestkid.livejournal.com]

ehh, sounds like a dog.

In To Kill a Mockingbird, Scout Finch's real name is Jean Louise. Why not use that to satisfy him and Scout as a nickname?

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

I really don't like Scout, not for a boy, not for a girl. It always reminds me of actual scouts, you know, boy and girl scouts.

I do like Arden, though.

good point, but i really am not fond of her real name. i like louise, but not jean.
