Judging Scout ships' names:
(This has nothing to do with how much I like specific ship itself, just its most popular name. Subjectively most popular in most cases and selected subjectively)
Brats 'n' Bats: Such a nothing name, I'm sorry. Ok, it's in big part because I don't like ship names with 3 words, it just seems like 1 too many plus I hate when a ship name has "and" in name. Like, that doesn't like like a ship name. Still, it does capture their ship pretty well, 4/10
Batting Helmet: Once again it might be just me and maybe the fact that English is not my native language, but no. What does batting hemlet even mean? I mean, I know what that means, I think, but it just seems to me like someone took two words that while are connected to the characters but in the most random way 1/10
Flash Fire: Finally something good! My only complaint is that Pyro's part "Fire" is too obvious. Still, flash fire sounds really good, 9/10
Hop Scotch: Best Scout ship name by far, though I might be biased because I looove Demoscout. Still, it's soo good. Hop for Scout is not too obvious, Scotch from Demo is also really good, and of course they additionally form another word that is genuinely so cute and good, 10/10
Heavy Hitters: Technically I think it's pretty good, but it doesn't translate well for me. Idk how to explain it. Like with Flash Fire the word for Heavy being just heavy is too obvious but then again it's to be linked with "hitters", 5/10
Texas Two-Step: Three words ship names if they were good fr fr. I don't know what directly inspired this name (I could check but this post isnt about it). But there is an achievement for Engie named that
and it kinda has something to do with both Scout and Engineer so that's a plus. Again, idk if it's the achievement that directly inspired this ship name, but either way it fits, 8/10
QuickFix: Ok, I do really like, I just don't think it sounds as catchy as some other ship names. "Quick" and "fix" are good words to represent Scout and Medic while not being too obvious, and of course the fact that one of Medic's secondaries is called that (my favourite one too) that is all about healing quickly? Yeah, really good choice, 7/10
Speeding Bullet: Damn, this is the most popular Scout ship? I mean, it's a good name, but not specific enough. "Speeding" part is fine, but "bullet"? Speeding bullet could as well be a ship name for Scoutcest, Heavyscout, and maybe even Engiescout. Still, it is pretty cool that Scout's theme has this in its name "Faster than a speeding bullet", 6/10
Seduce Me: Ah yes, my favourite ship for triggering every antishipper even though I don't see Spy as Scout's dad which ironically enough upsets them even more xD. Having said that, this name is very eh. On one hand it is very cool that it's the name of the ost that plays while Spy is teaching Scout about romance in Expiration Date, on the other I'm really not a fan of ship names that without context have a different meaning. Like yeah, if you searched "tf2 seduce me ship" you'd probably find said ship, but if you searched "seduce me" it's just a normal phrase, 4/10
