Don't love it, but it's ok. Olivia's a little boring due to overuse in recent years, but it is a decent name and shouldn't be a problem in the mn spot.

Love it.

My elder daughter is Lillian Scarlett Mahalia. Lillian and Mahalia are family names; we call her Scarlett, and always have. GWTW was one small factor, but I used it primarily because red is my favorite color. It's the only red name that sounds good in my ear. Ruby sounds childish and Crimson ends in -son, which did in fact deter me.

I like Scarlett. It's got personality. But I do go back and forth on whether I like it enough to consider it for my own child or not. It's one of those "on the fence," "almost love" names for me.

My youngest is Scarlett Eloise. It's spunky and fun, yet she can still grow into it. I love it and have gotten nothing but positive feedback over the past three years! The only thing that scares me is that I think it is becoming more popular.

Disclaimer: My Scarlett is a WILD CHILD, so if you're someone who thinks a child lives up to the feel of their name, then consider this your warning haha.

I adore Scarlet (one t). Scarlett looks a bit like a stutter to me, even though I know that's the way it's spelled in GWTW.

While I like the way Scarlet Olivia sounds together, I feel like Olivia is too popular and it ends up sounding like a placeholder.

What about... Scarlet Ophelia? It has the same feeling (and the constant-vowel prettiness) but is a little more unusual. :)
