Help[Opinions] Re: Thoughts on Scout?
in reply to a message by RoxStar
Guilty as charged! I was named after the book. Though I do like the Tomboyish aspects of it, and the dynamic of the name. When people cannot pronounce Aurora, I tell them to call me scout. Hopefully it doesn't sound too much like a Dog's name!

Nt means "no text", meant to stop people (in the original website format, at least) from clicking on erased messages. Sometimes mods will then delete them.
I'd originally wondered about the circumstances of how you acquired a MN a year ago. I'd assumed you'd picked it, but the "I was named" comment seemed to imply someone else did. Then I erased it because I didn't actually feel like being nosy. I probably should have written out "nevermind" in the message.

Oh, alright. There us actually a funny story behind it! If you'd like to hear it. My father was going to name me scout after To Kill a Mockingbird, his alltime favorite book. My Mother wanted to name me Aurora, so my nickname could be Rory. And my middle name was grey, so his dreams of giving me a book inspired names were gone. I later adopted Scout as my 'Soccer name', and it became my favorite nickname. And we both changed it to scout, an I think it fits me much better.

OT but is there any way to see subject lines anymore? We're still able to write a subject line for replies but it seems like that information just disappears.

Idk, I guess you could ask Mike. I can see them because I use the old format.
