It sounds interesting, but since it's too similar to the book publishing company Scholastic, I'll have to pass on it.

Interesting name.

It's a scholarly sounding name, but poor Scholastica will face bullying in elementary school (especially during the book fair) and learn to resent her name.

Despite the similarities to the name of the book publishing company, I quite enjoy this name. It gives off a vibe of a very knowledgeable and kind person. Very fancy too, which I enjoy as well.

Name your kid this if you like school book fairs I guess?

Continuing the tradition of commenting on the name day! I love this name, but it wouldn't be my top choice for anyone, especially because of the association with Scholastic Books;

I think it sounds very pretty. But sounds too much like scholastic.

It reminds me of the book company Scholastic. The sound is pretty but way too long and complex for a person to wear. I can appreciate the sound though.

Too long and Scholastic Books ruined it.

Quite beautiful. When I hear it, I imagine a dead bride from an old gothic romance novel.

Strange name.

Sounds very... educational. Scholastic is a publishing company in the UK (I’m not sure about it being all around the world).

It exists here in America too :D.

So we band together on another March 8th XD
Nice name in theory, however the publishing company does come to mind. It might be a heavy name for a child to bear, especially with everyone else having names like Emma or Ava.

I do truly love it, but it's such a nun name.

I’m in the odd group that actually likes this name. I don’t think it’s a mouthful, and you are all saying that you dislike it because it sounds like “scholar”, but I don’t mind that association, I in fact love it because it means the name is smart, so to say.
I think it’s very pretty, mature, heavenly, and the image I get from this name is a woman who can get what she wants, and knows what she wants.

Once again, March 8th. Scholastica is strange, but interesting. It would make a great middle name, though.

Funny name.

Ha, back again! Time passes by so quickly, I still remember making my last comment.
I certainly don't think it's ugly, still. I can't see how it would be, other than the book organization and the goddess, of course. Also the length.

Well that's... interesting.

Another March 8th comment, I find the name nice, actually. A nickname could be Skully, I guess.
It would be interesting for a character, but not as much on a person.

Modern usage of the name includes some colleges named after St. Scholastica. Such as College of St. Scholastica in Duluth, Minnesota. There were two all-girl private academies called St. Scholastica Academy in Illinois and Louisiana, the former closed its doors in 2012. There's a few of these in the Philippines as well.

Stupid name really... she might as well be a total nerd altogether.

Continuing the tradition of comments on this name on March 8, I would say in the 21st century this would stand out... a little too much. Although maybe not that bad of a name, it is simply over the top.

The French form of this name is Scholastique. [noted -ed]

I think this is a beautiful name. I took it as my Confirmation name after St. Scholastica. I know it can sound smart or snobby based on today's culture but, it is very sophisticated, a quite lovely actually. Admittedly a bit of a mouthful but, nicknames like Sola or Lassie can shorten it.

In theory, this should be a nice name: it flows well, it has an interesting meaning, and it has many potential nicknames. However, because of the name's resemblance to the word scholar, and because of the publishing company, this name seems somewhat tacky and forced to me.

I don't like this name. It sounds weird and is very close to the name of a publishing company!

I don't care for this name. It sounds like the publishing company and the words "scholar" and "elastic". Plus, I find it way too religious.

I would've loved this name if it wasn't associated with the words scholastic and scholar.

When I first saw it it reminded my of the word 'scholar' but when I tried to pronounce it, it sounded like the publishing company.

I wouldn't name a kid this. I'm sure that they'd be teased, and people may not take them seriously. It really does sound like the publishing company. When I first saw it, I didn't even think it was a real name.

I'm not a fan because it reminds me of the children's book publisher Scholastic. I guess they both come from the same source, but still.
