Try to focus on why you love a name. Scarlett may not always paint the best picture, but I try to ignore negative comments on it. It didn’t stop me from naming my book’s main character that. I hope of having a daughter with this name one day. Will it make everyone happy? No. Will it make me happy? Yes. Will my daughter hate me forever for picking the name? Maybe, but probably not. Basically, if it’s a minor association, then you should go with it. Should you name your kid Adolf? Never.
Name your kid the name you dream of. Or a book character. Or a pet. Or whatever. It’s your choice.
