Scott Commings was a chef on season 12 of Hell’s Kitchen. Throughout the season, Scott was frequently a target of Gordon Ramsay’s yelling, and also found himself being nominated for elimination by his teammates several times, though many fans believe that some of those nominations were undeserved. However, in spite of all this, Scott was a breath of fresh air, a genuinely kind and compassionate person who comforted his teammates when they were down and never blamed anyone else for his mistakes. Scott’s creativity, passion and leadership allowed him to pull off the ultimate comeback and win Hell’s Kitchen.

My parents chose this particular name for me because there weren’t many Scott’s around when I was born in the 1990s and this unique plus distinct name really makes it appealing and I like it 10/10.

Scott has such a feline presence. Whenever I think of a Scott, I picture a sleek kitten with blue eyes and a perky tail that wags at the very sight of the United States constitution. Scott is essentially three cats stacked on top of each other in a trenchcoat pretending to be a 6’5” human, but they’re not fooling anyone. We all know Scott isn’t a human, and we all know he isn’t that tall. Scotts are the best.

Where one 'anonymous' user stated:
'All the Scott's I've met were troublemakers. I have two Scott's in my family who are mean.'
Another: NiamhWitch commented
'I picture a Scott as being athletic, intelligent, and good at what he does, but doesn't have an inflated head.'
I am Jason Scott and I'm happy to admit I bear both traits, so firstly I have to agree with the first comment, I am a troublemaker, not the kind to create trouble that might end with someone getting hurt but the quick witted type that speaks my mind, honest, blunt and to the point and I can also be prone to winding people up. Just for my own amusement.
The second comment is tricky to admit to, based on the last line. But again honest, blunt and to the point wins that one in my opinion, the rest is pretty much bang on.
The name Scott derives from 'Scottus' which in the Middle Ages was the Latin term for "Irish or Gaelic", so the name means Irish-born Gael." "Scotti" was the name that the Romans called the Irish.
The spelling 'Scottus' has the authority in early manuscripts until perhaps the 11th century.
Occasionally also named 'Scottigena' ("Irish-born") in manuscripts.
Going slightly sideways now, my forename Jason in Hebrew means healer or one who heals, again I will help and have on many occasion helped many people fix whatever needed fixing without and often refusing payment in return.
I was also born 24th December the day before Jesus, as we all know that story is made up, and a lie.
I don't lie, I'm living, people can see me, therefore more believable than Jesus.
I am a Bench Joiner - Cabinet Maker (that's a Carpenter for anyone that might not know but I work with the metric system, more accuracy and also the best trouble making craftsman that, hopefully, I've been intelligent enough to end this without an inflated head. I take pride from these traits as I've been told by many, I just don't disagree.
I'm neither Scots or Irish, a little Welsh but mostly English.

My name is Scott, or I go by Scottie and one of my favorite comedies of all time is EuroTrip. The main actor is Scott Mechlowicz and he plays the main character Scott Thompson and there is the song that has gone viral on youtube and has millions of views from the past 5 years called #SCOTTIEDOESNTKNOW! Catchy tune and love it when I think of anybody named Scott whether first, middle, last makes no difference. Just a fun loving, full of life eccentric, yet very excited and jubilant kind of guy, very spontaneous and sporadic as if our whole life is a Mardi Gras party. How could that be a bad thing? PARTY ON AND ROCK ON!
