What do you think of Scotia nn Scottie for a girl? Scotia is odd/awkward to me because it looks like it should be pronounced scah-shah, like Sasha with a C thrown in. I'm assuming it's sco-tee-ah, since you have the nn Scottie for it. Might throw some readers off (it does me.) As for Scottie, I think it's really cute as a nickname for a character. I do, however, think "Beam me up Scottie!" pretty much instantly.
What do you think would be the best spelling of Scottie for Scotia? Definetly Scottie.
Any other female names that can use the nn Scottie? I like Scholastica/Scottie and have considered using that on a character. The constrast of the ridiculously long, cumbersome name and cute nickname is fun to me.
