Scotia (SKO-shah) is pretty.

I would pronounce Scotia as "SKO sha." Scottie is odd as a female name, IMO.

I really like Scottie for a girl. I know at least 3 girls named Scottie, whose full first name is Scottie. I was always under the impression that Scottie was a feminine form of Scott, but it's not listed as such on BtN. Scotia I'm not much of a fan of. It sounds strange for me to say it without Nova in front of it. :-P

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.

I don't like Scottie for a girl. I have a guy friend named Scott, but everyone calls him Scotty. So I can't see Scottie / Scotty for a girl.

Scottie reminds me of a dog

i think scottie would be terrible for a girl, i think it only sounds good on a guy
