HelpRe: Scott in 2024
in reply to a message by Ohad Yigal
It's definitely dated but I think it's still usable, especially as a middle name. I've seen "Scotty" on a young kid recently and that seemed normal, but if he went by "Scott" it would have seemed like his name didn't match his age.
One thing I've noticed about Scott is that it seems a little too corporate. I'm constantly seeing SCOTT brand logos everywhere. I think it's really just two brands, the sporting goods company and the toilet paper company, but both of those are so ubiquitous that it feels like there are a ton of brands around called Scott. I've never tried to count the number of times I see Scott logos in a day, but if you go skiing and then use a public toilet it will be a lot. Plus bikes and whatever else the sporting goods company sells.
(I used to like the idea of Scotland as a first name with the nickname Scot. I've met people named Ireland so maybe it's not that weird, but I can't think of an actually good reason to name someone after a random country.)
