Yep... Scarlett Adele *sigh* It is the perfect name for me... Gone With the Wind is my alltime favourite book and I love the name, but it just doesn't work with last name Porch. Everyone (besides me!) just thinks of a big red porch. I would use it in a heartbeat if everyone else didn't think it was so awful. I could get over the image! But I like other people to like the name too.
I also have ln difficulties; our ln is Waters, so that eliminates a lot of names that I otherwise like. Ones that have something to do with water, such as Moses, Noah, Jonah, etc. are out automatically. Also, color-related names such as Scarlett, Rose, Violet, etc. would just bring the mental picture of "red water" or "purple water" for most people, I'm sure. How annoying!
I love "Gracie Jayne". There are a lot of reasons why I'll never be able to use it though :-( Just doesn't work with our last name at all, plus two of our cousins have already used Grace in their names. Oh well. I still think its cute.
My last name ends in an -er sound, so I can't use Oliver no matter how much I love it. The "er er" combo sounds like stammering. *Sigh* Also out are Harper, Sawyer, Miller, Foster, Walker, and so many others.
My little sister is Rebecca, nn Becky/Bex. I want the mn of my first daughter to be Rebecca. I think that Beckett James and Iris Rebecca would be too close. But how great do Beckett and Iris sound together!!!
