HelpScottie?
I've been thinking about the name Scottie for a girl lately. I've always thought of it as a feminine counterpart of Scott (or a NN for Scott), but it's not listed as such in the database. I've met 3 girls named Scottie (I believe Scottie was each one's given name), and Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald's daughter was also known as Scottie (her full name was Frances Scott).
That being said, I really have no idea why I find this name so appealing. I dislike the name Scott, I don't usually like unisex names or masculine sounding names on girls, and I don't like nickname-y names as given names. Yet somehow I find Scottie charming. I suppose it's just a major GP. ::Shrug::
Opinions? Ideas on why I may like this name?

I can't really picture a girl named Scottie. For me Scotty is strictly a little-boy name for someone who will surely be Scott after age 7.
It's okay ... just not my taste at all. It just doesn't seem flattering at all, doesn't convey 'pretty', nor 'strong' and 'dignified'.

Oddly, the only Scottie I have ever known is a woman. I have no idea what it is short for, or if it is her given name. I've always thought it would be very, very childish as a nn for a boy, probably because it seems odd to nn a boy an older womans name(which is of course how I have come to see it).

I can see why you like it. But you must find a full name for it and it can't be Scott!
Scotette. Scottina. *snort*
Anyway I can see it as a nickname for Scarlett really easily, and I think that's actually pretty cute.

Ooh, I kind of like the Scarlett idea! Thanks!

I love Scottie on a girl! I'd prefer it as a nickname, though I don't know what for.

Beam me up....
sorry, trekkie here. :D
My first association is Star Trek; my second is the cute little dog breed.
I've never heard of it for a girl, only as a NN for Scott, and that's the only way I can stomach it on a person. Sorry, it just doesn't appeal to me in any way for a girl.

I didn't even think of that association! Thanks for the input! :D

Ditto on all points.
I'm far too addicted to Star Trek to view this name as anything other than the name following "Beam me up".

In that case, completely OT:
Original or Next-Gen?? :D
I have a weakness for Patrick Stewart, but on the WHOLE I prefer the original Enterprise crew.
Have you seen the movies? Which do you like? (WHY does everyone like the stupid sentient-whale one; see I can't even remember the number I disliked it so much.)

I have to admit that I prefer to watch Next-Gen (and Voyager, which is even harder to admit to), but I'd like to love Original. I just can't take the "ancient" effects and all that, but I do like the plotline.
However, I did like the movies based on the Original series better. I like the stupid sentient whale one, but it's definitely not my favorite. I *think* my favorite is the one about the Genesis project and the "new" Spock and all that - it's been so long since I watched the movies I don't remember any titles or numbers.

Huh! Two is the Genesis project (The Wrath of Khan!!) and it's great; three is "the Search for Spock" where they bring him back to life (and I'm not even putting a spoiler warning because, really, this is star trek. anybody who actually clicks this post is either not gonna care or will already know *g*) Most people HATE searh for spock. I thought it was hokey but fun... I just couldn't get past the back-in-time sentient-whale-aliens of four (The Voyage Home). We own them and I admit I just peeked. >.>

So completely off topic...
Wouldn't a whale alien be a whalien? Hehehe. Of course, I have no clue what you're talking about. Just had to post about the whaliens.

I think One and Two, then.
Three is third. :)
I loved the whole concept in Four that it was possible to go back in time by looping around the sun - wtf?

I know. It reminds me of the Superman movie where he personally spins the globe by flying really fast to go back in time. I hated that.
Have you seen First Contact? Now THAT was awesome!! Cromwell as a drunk Cochran, so much fun.

Yeah, I've seen that, but I was in the hospital on some serious drugs at the time so I don't remember it too clearly. Is that the one where Deanna Troi got drunk and Riker found her and said she was blended or something...?
1
Yep. :D
it was fun.
I also liked The Undiscovered Country where Shatner hands off the reins.

*nods*
Yeah, that was good too. LOL, I thought they were all good, other than Nemesis, which I have yet to see. I do know all the major spoilers, of course. :)

Strangely enough
that was my introduction to Star Trek! I had a trekkie friend and he drug me to the pre-opening night screening; we had free tickets so I didn't care. I didn't hate it, but I had no idea about the Star Trek world or culture at the time, so I had no idea why everybody else hated it. It got me interested, at least. :D Then I married a trekkie and was subjected to the movies and some of the episodes - I want to see more of the actual shows but we can't afford to buy them right now. (The Borg is SO COOL.)

I ♥ Borg! That's one major reason I love Voyager so much; I love the Borg.

When it gets THIS off topic...
Move it, please. :-D
And btw: The only decent show was Deep Space 9. Period. ;-)

I knew someone would say it. *eyeroll* (If we were still going, I would think it was quite valid to say it, but the convo was very clearly OVER.)
I thought of PM'ing but we were so close to done at that point I didn't bother; if other people wanted to chime in I'd have taken it to the lounge.
DS9? You kidding me? :D (haven't actually SEEN DS9, but that seemed like an appropriate response; *tongue-in-cheek*)
