Scout: vs. first vs. middle

Hi- I want to name my daughter Scout, after Scout Finch from To Kill a Mockingbird. I was wondering if her first name should be Scout or if I should go with a more sophisticated name like Elizabeth(a family name) or such as her fist and Scout as her middle name. That way, she has the option to go by her first name if she becomes a lawyer or something that would make the name Scout sound funny. We would just call her Scout- but then she just would have the option. What do you think? Scout as a first name or as a middle name? Also, could you suggest some first and middle names to go with it? Thanks, Nina and Joe Walker

Help! I love the name Guinevere, but I can't think of a really good brother and sister name for her. Since Guinevere is so empowering, I want the next names to be powerful as well. Thanks, Genie!
Baby Name Genie:
You seek the Holy Grail of names. Let me help you in your quest. The brother of fair Guinevere will fight on foot with swords aplenty, but on his horse he'll surely lance a lot. Name him Edward for a regal name. A sister could be dubbed Katherine if greatness is what you desire.
