Prescott or plain old Scott?

kwily

My husband and I both love Scott. It's his middle name and we've already been calling our baby that for months. ?I feel like it's maybe too casual and read that Scott was originally from Prescott. ?I really like Prescott. ?What do you ladies think? ?Cute or too stuffy?

I personally like just Scott. I had kind of this problem when naming DS. I like the name "Leo" (and we were naming him after his great grandpa Leo), but I felt like it was too short. I came really close to naming him Leonard just so he could have a more formal name, even though I really don't like Leonard. We ended up just going with Leo, and I'm glad that we did.

I like Scott. It doesn't need a "formal" name, in my opinion. It's not like you're naming him Mikey or Tommy.

As a side note, there's town in AZ called Prescott but it's pronounced "Preskit" so Scott doesn't seem like a NN for Prescott to me.

Sounds a little stuffy to me.  Maybe I'm thinking of an ascott though.

I like Prescott, it makes it seem more formal and he could always go by Scott if he didn't want to use the formal version

I like Scott.  Prescott is way too stuffy!  Scott is cute all by itself!

Personally I like Prescott better.

I actually really really like Prescott!  It's different without being "too different" and you can still use Scott/Scotty as nicknames.
