[LauraMoser]

I like it. A girl I know just named her DD Scarlett Belle.

Wow, that seems seriously Southern to me.

[shortstax]

I think overall it's a good name. However, I live in the land of the Buckeyes, and I know numerous OSU fans that have named their dogs Scarlett and Gray. Do UNLVers do that out there?

[ijack]

I like the name, but I don't like the link to your sports team and most of my friends would pick up on it.

[GailGoldie]

i think both names sound great together - i didn't evven think of it being 2 colors.... you don't say a full name that often - so i wouldn't worry too much about it.

one of my twins is "grayson" so i do love that name.

[curbsideprophet]

Honestly, my first thought was Ohio St and I am not even sure those are the official colors. Since your school has the same colors, I think people will assume you named your daughter after your school.

I am not sure I am a fan of the names together, but on their own I think they are fine.

I think "Scarlett Grey" sounds like the name of a character in a cheesy novel, but I guess "Scarlett Grey Smith" isn't as bad.

Ha, like one of Christian and Anastasia's children?

I love Grey, but not such a huge fan of Scarlet.

[Willis Jackson]

I would not do it. Then again, I live in Columbus, Ohio.

[locarb]

I like the name w/ the dbl meanings.

I'm glad you didn't consider Sasha Grey

[miss1991]

I love the name !! The color's are great even if someone say's something who care's. For me LOVE both. Have fun!

No, people in Vegas don't follow UNLV like people in Ohio follow Ohio State. I actually know more die hard OSU fans in Las Vegas than UNLV fans. I know one person with a dog named Rebel, but no Scarlets or Grays.

[countthestars]

I really like it and don't think you should worry about the school thing.

[Mrs.Beagle]

Okay, I say no to the two names together.

Only because I am an IU fan. Might I suggest the name Crimson Cream?

[KaraOrNot]

I like it. Middle names are so infrequently used, so the school thing wouldn't bother me.

It's NOT Ohio State. It's UNLV --University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

I went to UNLV and had no idea those were our colors.

Did you follow football or basketball? The fight song says the school colors but I get that most students wouldn't necessarily know the fight song unless they are big fans of the school's sports teams.

[heightsyankee]

I like it. I also think middle names are barely relevant a couple months after the baby is born and the announcements go out. They're rarely used by anyone except close family, and usually that is when the kid is in trouble.

[chia]

I don't like it.

I knew a huge Republican who named his kid with a first and middle name that were very Republican, and then said they were both family names. (Oh, really? Barbara and Laura are both family names? OK.) People thought it was weird. The fact that yours are colors makes it weirder.

It's your kid, though. If you and your DH like it, that's what's important.

[6fsn]

Another Columbus person that immediately though of OSU. There are a ton of S names out there. I'd move on.

I think the name is fine, especially regarding the colors. Naming your kid Scarlett Gray is way different than say, Yellow Green.

Ditto. I was going to say way better than "Purple Gold" down here in LSU land.

I love the name Scarlett and Gray is an actual name to (although it wouldn't work as a first name). I think it works together.

[sophie1229]

If you and DH like the names, use them. I don't see an issue. I think it's pretty. Honestly, people can suck it!

[Deleted]

I like the name, but I actually really like the name Sylvie for a little girl. I think it could and should make a come back... but then again I wanted to name my first born Grover so you can take my opinion with a grain of salt

I think you are overthinking it. How often do people use the kid's middle name anyway?

Ultimately this.

[justjen]

I really liked the name until I heard the college connection. Then it seems a little too much.

[madladybride]

I vacillate between thinking it's cute and thinking it's cheesy. It also makes me think of Scarlett Johanson.

FWIW, we were going to name our DD Esther-Jane after our two grandmothers, but people pointed out that it sounded like "estrogen". We ended up using Esther as a middle name and going with something different for the first name.

[partiallysunny]

I like the name, but I think you're going to get razzed for the college colors connection.

[BAMFMrsB]

I love the name
