Another question about my name choice

I posted a poll about girl names and most people chose the name Scarlett to go with my daughter Holland. I really love those 2 names together. I only have one slight concern but I don't think it really bothers me too much . I wanted to get your opinion.
My last name is Brown so She would be Scarlett Brown which is 2 colors. I think thats since Scarlett describes Red it's not as bad as say if you named her Gray Brown. What do you think?

I don't think that matters, I don't think of Scarlett as a color, even though it is.

I really like the name you've chosen.

If you really love Scarlett, I don't think Scarlett Brown is bad.

For me, it would be a deal breaker. I can almost see the color scarlet brown...it would be about the color of mahogany.

Scarlett Brown wouldn't work for me at all; I would not use Scarlett with any last name that is also an adjective or object.


As someone with red-brown hair (rapidly turning gray-brown, but, oh well), Scarlett Brown really sounds like a crayola crayon color.

I'm not crazy about two color words together.

I think it is a beautiful name. I love the name Scarlet, in fact we are considering it for our baby due in February. I think names shuld be looked at from the way you would hear it. I think Scarlet Brown is very pleasing to the ear. Sowhat if they are both color words. If you like the name that is what matters! Good luck!

I would find it kind of silly, to tell you the truth. Of course, every time I see the name Scarlett I always think of the Scarlet letter anyway...so maybe I'm not a good one to ask (IMO scarlet is very much a colour).
