Help[Opinions] Skeeter!
I watched The Help yesterday and the main character was named Skeeter, used on a girl. So WDTY? Combos? Nicknames? Mascaline or feminine or both?

Skeeter from Doug.
To quote Urban Dictionary...
"Though thought to be blue, Skeeter Valentine was indeed black. The only man who could beat box, brake dance, and wear MC Hammer pants in a cartoon show through the early - mid 90's. The only other blue-violet colored person on the show, "Bee Bee", was Skeeter's girlfriend at a point, and she was so black she was purple, thus making her Haitian.
"Doug: Man I don't know how to dance.
Skeeter: Let me show you Doug *dances*
Doug: Am I doing it right now?
Skeeter: Nope. HEH HEH!
Doug: Why can you dance and I can't?
Skeeter: Because I'm black."
Still think this is a good nickname?

It was a nickname. :-D
And as a nickname, it's great. As a name, it's ridiculous.

In the movie the character's real first name was Eugenia. I think Skeeter definitely works better as just a nickname.

Skeeter wasn't even a related or pick nickname, her older brother said she looked like a 'skeeter', meaning a mosquito and the name stuck. Her mother doesn't like to use the name Skeeter to refer to her daughter.

Actor, Skeet Ulrich took his stage name from his childhood nickname, Skeeter, from mosquito and later shortened to Skeet. I think is real given name is Brian, if I remember correctly. Skeeter, as a nickname, feels much more masculine to me than feminine, but there are female mosquitoes and I suppose they are "skeeters" too.
