What do you all think about the name Scarlett?

I like it! I think it's very pretty!
Makes me think of Scarlett Johannsen though, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. :o)

[bloomingtulip.livejournal.com]

LOVE LOVE LOVE it :)

[sotypical42483.livejournal.com]

I like it a lot

[mrsduryee.livejournal.com]

loves. :)

[dinder.livejournal.com]

I love it!!! I always have. It's number one on my list right now!

[cerise-blue.livejournal.com]

beautiful!

It's like Tallulah. If you don't mind your daughter's name having less than positive connotations, and for people to ask for the rest of her life if she's named after Gone With the Wind, then go for it!

I love Scarlett. I don't think my husband would go for it.

[bloomingtulip.livejournal.com]

I think by the time that children born now (or especially in the next 10 years) are asked about their names and where they come from, Gone With the Wind isn't going to be as forefront on people's minds. I think that's a sad thing, but since I love the name I think it'd work out in my favor.

You think? GWTW has been pretty constant for a long time. Why do you see that changing in the next ten years?

[bloomingtulip.livejournal.com]

I'm 20 and most of my friends (including people up to 5 years older than me) have never read or seen GWTW. Considering how smart/well read most of these people are, I can't imagine the mass population being more up on the matter. I could be wrong, sure, but that's just my guess.

[thejoysofjess.livejournal.com]

I've never read or seen GWTW either, but I still know the characters and "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn."

Same for many other "classic" books/movies that I've never read or seen.

[bloomingtulip.livejournal.com]

I just don't think it'll be the first thing to come to mind when people hear that you named your daughter Scarlett. Like I said, maybe I'm wrong. I don't know.

[mysticamor.livejournal.com]

I have to agree. I finally just saw it like a month ago and I'm 27 years old. It never interested me to see it....but when I did I liked it.

[heyitsrebecca.livejournal.com]

I love it!
I wouldn't use it, because of the word "scar" right in front. It's not a big deal, really.. but what if she got in an accident and was scarred up pretty bad? That'd be terrible regardless of her name, but I think Scarlett would make it that much more unfortunate.
Of course, I'm neurotic.. so don't listen to me. ;)

I love Scarelett but the Bf would never go for it.

[glitterberrys.livejournal.com]

I think it's gorgeous. There IS a pretty obvious, immediate association, though (to me a neutral one, but YVMV.)

[arbus.livejournal.com]

i dont love love love it, but i do like it a lot.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

it's pretty but I think it's a hard name to live up to. A girl has to be gorgeous and feisty to live up to the name Scarlett IMO.

[thunderofsins.livejournal.com]

i don't like it but i don't know why

[neroli.livejournal.com]

A little too showy for my taste.

[ilovehounds.livejournal.com]

i love it. it's very feminine and romantic. it'd be cute for a little girl, but could be sexy when she's a woman. i think it's a great example of a name that "grows up well" if that makes any sense.

[sanity741.livejournal.com]

I think it's a beautiful name!

[imyourrapunzel.livejournal.com]

I really like it but I could never use it, I think it's a better as a character name (Scarlett O'Hara).

[itcouldbelove.livejournal.com]

i love it, but i'm not sure i could ever use it.

[sarahrose.livejournal.com]

Love.

[lavandersparkle.livejournal.com]

I think its pretty :)

[tokossel.livejournal.com]

i don't like it for some reason.

[turabiannights.livejournal.com]

I am going to join the extreme minority and say I don't like it either. I can only think of "scarlet woman," which maybe makes me a fuddy-duddy, but there it is.

Well, and the Scarlet Letter. Not great either.

And it starts with SCAR.

Yeah.

Ick.

[krosp.livejournal.com]

Yay, I'm not alone. I also only think of Scarlet woman.... I really don't like this name.

[ophiomancer.livejournal.com]

I like it, but I'd only spell it with one t.

[super-bitch06.livejournal.com]

I love Scarlett. It's such a beautiful name.

[mysticamor.livejournal.com]

I LOVE the name. I think it's a strong but feminine name. It's on my top 5 list of girl names.

[chippyjem.livejournal.com]

love it. my husband named his motorcycle scarlett, lol.

[opalfirefly.livejournal.com]

i love the name and I just met a 2 years old and she was precious
she looked like a baby doll

[scintillated.livejournal.com]

I ♥ it.

[stacilia.livejournal.com]

I love it. Its one of the names I'm considering for my little girl. I'm from the South, and surprisngly, I have never heard of another Scarlett down here.
