HelpRe: Scarlett
in reply to a message by SelmaBouvier
What do I think of it? Not much.
I'm a big fan of "Gone with the Wind," both novel and movie. But I can't take the name Scarlett seriously, anymore than I could take Rhett or Prissie. (And yes, I know Rhett is a real name.) They are all so closely identified to the characters I can't see them as anything else.
Also, that extra "t" on the end of Scarlett is particularly annoying.

But it's not an extra T
That's how the surname is spelled. Yes, I know it derives from the color. But the TT spelling has been a surname for centuries. Totally legitimate.
