Is there a nn for Scarlett?  Apparently, a cute nn is a must for DH.

    My friend has a Scarlett. We call her Carli.

    I consider Scarlett one of the "nickname proof" names.  The obvious shortening (Scar) is unappealing.  You can push it and say "Lettie" but I don't think that sounds natural.

    My son has a nickname proof name (Connor).  We just call him Connor!  Or pet names like "cutie pie" and "handsome" :).  I can't imagine calling him "Con" or "Conny" or something like that.  His uncles have occasionally called him "con man" which I find funny (in moderation) but I don't think it will stick :D.

    I thought Lettie too, but I don't think it is natural.

    My son's name is pretty NN proof...Wade. We are looking for something that is nn proof for our next too!

    I don't like any nicknames for Scarlett.  I think the best part of the name is that there's no obvious or natural nickname, so your daughter would actually be called by her name.

    I can only think of "Lettie" or in pinch "Red".

    This. It is such a beautiful name on its own. It doesn't need a nickname.

    Your husband sounds exactly like mine. He likes Scarlett, but he doesn't like that there are not any nicknames for it and he feels names should have good nicknames Confused

    I have heard of people using Carly/Carlie/Carli though as a nn for Scarlett. I just like the full name though.

    We have a Scarlet and that was one of the things we love about the name, that there wasn't really a natural nn to it.  Everyone just uses her name which I love.  Her young cousins sometimes call her Scarly    and my DH calls her Begonias after the song Smile
