[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We love the name Scarlett and would like to name DD this. Is it controversial because of the Gone With the Wind association? I actually loved the book and movie growing up. [b]Scarlett is a flawed but very strong female character who wasn’t so much racist as scrappy/manipulative…[/b] Other names we are considering are Violet and Charlotte, but we don’t like these as much as Scarlett.[/quote] She grew up embedded in a deeply racist culture, benefiting greatly from the institution of slavery, with little introspection about its impact on the slaves. Why do you say she wasn’t racist? That said, your dd can be named Scarlett without being racist. Use the name if you love it.[/quote]
