A Scottie or Scottish Terrier is a type of dog, so it doesn't work well on either a boy or girl human.

I don’t care for the name Scottie. I’d prefer just Scott, if anything.

It could be a fun NN for Scotia, maybe. Scottie. Hmm. It sounds better suited to a book character rather than a real person, but I don't hate it.

I find the idea a bit on the appalling side. It's barely palatable for a boy - under the age of 8 only - it simply cannot make the jump to girls.

Despite it being cutesy, its not very girly. Which is strange, as I find Carly and Jamie somewhat girly.

Scottie is the opposite of femininity. I find it awful on a boy. I may consider it for a dog, but I’d have to be coerced into it.

Reminds me of FS Fitzgerald ‘s daughter.

I personally keep thinking of Michael Scott from the Office and Scott toilet tissue. (Not trying to be rude or ill intent) I just think this one doesn’t hit. I personally love more feminine names for girls especially unique ones but wishing you the best in name picking. :)

I think it's kids'-TV cutesy on a boy as a nn for Scott. On a girl it sounds agressively butch, like her name is really Amanda Scott or something else Scott and she goes by Scottie to be "one of the boys."

It would be unfortunate, but hopefully a nickname (not sure what for other than a ln Scott). As a given name it does nothing for me but isn’t the worst out there. You know what, maybe it’s actually kind of cute. But only as a nn.

It is likely to happen, for males and females alike, when the surname is Scott. But it usually doesn't last beyond adolescence; unlike Mac, which seems to appear in adulthood if at all. Or perhaps it's different in other places. It certainly isn't a name I'd ever give to anyone: I don't like lnfns at the best of times, and when they get a diminutive ending it makes them that much worse.
