Should i name my baby scarlet or rachel?

my boyfriend wants rachel but i think its too simple, and i though scarlet is out of the ordinary

Should i name my baby scarlet or rachel?
I love Scarlet! I like it much better though spelled Scarlett. It looks more like a name that way, and adds more elegance than having it just Scarlet.





I love Rachel too, it's a really pretty and classic name, but Scarlett is definitely more unusual and different. Why not compromise and go with Scarlett Rachel? That's a beautiful name, and it flows really well.
Reply:I agree with the majority: Scarlet Rachel





But I like the nickname Rae for Rachel, Scarlet doesn't have a nickname. When most of my friends have babies, they often end up turning some part of the middle name into a nickname within the first 18 months. So now it's like a habit for me when baby names come up. I think, great name, now let's take a hatchet and shorten it up... :)
Reply:personally, id go with scarlette. its FAR more funky, yet it can still maintain a classy spin, so if she wanted to entre a career where it required her to be "superior" if you like, her name wouldn't be weighing her down.


rachel is pretty, but is VERYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY... common and simple.





its your choice.





all the best xxxx


CONGRATZ!
Reply:If she has red hair, I'd go with Scarlet, otherwise I'd stick with the literary classic spelling, Scarlett (even though Scarlett O'Hara was actually named Katie...)
Reply:I like Rachel better, but on teh other hand i've never met many nice Rachels so i'd go with Scarlet

Scarlet Rachel


Rachel Scarlet
Reply:Scarlett Rachel sounds better than Rachel Scarlett.


I personally don't like either.


But if you're going for what sounds better, then Scarlett Rache is definitely it.


God bless.
Reply:I'd be a bit biased here. my name is Rachel, so, I'd go with that. However, I love the name Scarlett!


By the way, my sister's name is Karen :)
Reply:Scarlett is a beautiful name. Rachel is really common now a days.
