When I was three months we decided on our name. We both love Scarlett Olivia. Love, love. However, recently, I have had second thoughts. I am so worried that she will be picked on or called scar or scarf ace. Kids can be so cruel. I'm not sure what to do because we do love the name, but it will break my heart if she is tormented bc of a name I gave her. We decided our boys names early on and never changed them or even wanted to. It's so hard bc I can't find another name I like half as much. Any advice or name suggestions?
Yeah, if a kid is targeted, they'll find any way to bully or taunt. One of the most popular kids in my high school, his name was Claude Peniss (or was it Pennis). Kids could have easily called him a clod or any part of his name could have been mocked. But he was very charismatic , popular, and accomplished. A kid who often got bullied, his name was Tony Reeves. So truly, the name isn't the target unless the kid is already a target.
Thank you ladies! This was so helpful. That is true. They will find a way to tease if that's their intention. Good, one more thing I will try not to worry about!
Re: Second guessing name for baby girl
I agree with emmy. It's a perfectly good name. Kids can be jerks, but you aren't giving them anything they can go crazy with.
