Hi! I just found out I'm having my 1st girl after 2DS and there seem to be a lot more names to choose from! Most of my list consists of pretty common names.... Kate, Kristin, etc. but the one name I actually like a lot but is sort of unusual is Scarlet. I am hoping for some honest opinions here since I do not like to share the baby's name with friends and family before they are born. I have a feeling my mother will HATE it, but maybe that's not a good enough reason to disregard a name I like! I also worry that she'll get the nickname "Scar". What do you all think??

It shouldn't have a nickname... but it probably will! And I HATE nicknames! I thought I got around that by naming my son Evan and now... he's Ev. Not that Ev is bad really, I just think it doesn't require much effort to say Evan! So I do fear the SCAR thing... and I know that will be the first thing that my mom says (I know, who cares what crazy moms think). I remember when my friend named her son Dylan - my mom's first reaction was "OH they're gonna call him Dill Pickle"! Like who thinks of that?!!
