Hi All, So I am due in about 2 months. I told DH he could pick the name. He loves Scarlett.. I like it alot, but wdyt? Do you know any Scarletts? Is it feminine sounding in your opinion or kinda harsh sounding? Big Sis is Mia Grace. He likes the middle name Rose? Scarlett Rose, is that to much? Any other middle name suggestions.. Thanks, I just want my new baby to grow up loving her name not hating it. In some ways i feel like Scarlett is very strong and she has to be a cedrtain type of person to pull the name off. Am I way overthinking this? Thanks, I would love to settle on a name soon. - Tara

FYI- His top 3 in order are Scarlett, Eva, Isabella...


Eva (or Ava) Rose would go nicely with Mia Grace.

Hi,

I like the name Scarlett Rose. I think it sounds feminine and strong. It does make me think of Gone With the Wind, especially with your name being Tara. If this doesn't bother you, then go for it!

Scarlett is ok. I prefer Eva or Isabella personally but all three are nice feminine names.

Personally I would avoid nouns such as Rose for a middle name just since Scarlett is a color. It sounds like you are describing the rose.

Scarlett is ok...don't love it, don't hate it. But I think Rose as a middle name for Scarlett is one color too many...JMO...

DEFINITELY GO WITH SCARLETT! Isabella and Eva are nice, but too common, too expected. Scarlett is a modern classic, with a cool vintage vibe. The mn of Rose, however, is too much - describing the rose color is over the top. I like the monosyllabic mn, such as Scarlett Mae or Scarlett Jane.
