Perfect Scoundrels discussion

Yeah... Scooter. I didn't like it. I'm on page 225 and if there's a story behind how he got it, I haven't read it yet. Ally kept saying it was funny and we'd get a kick out of it. But... Scooter? Just... why? I really never found the appeal in the nickname. I'm curious what you guys thought.

Yeah, I'm not crazy about it either... -.-

It wasnt the best nickname I agree, but it was really funny at the same time since it fits is somewhat childish personality. But when I finished the book I was like 'nooooo' since Ally never gave us Hale's real name and so maybe that means that there will be a fourth book

well i certainly hope there is another book! I think when we find out Hale's name we'll all just be like 0_0 seriously? I mean Ally is keeping us in suspence for it.

I love the Book but the nickname didn't fit in to his suave character.

I am not sure yet, really want to know why he is called that. It should have been included in the book for us to understand it :)

I agree completely...

That does seem like a good idea if Ally would've put how Hale got the nickname Scooter

that probably would have been a funny story to read!! :) x

I thought it was cute but like others i wonder how he got it. On a side note I GUESSED THE CON by the middle of the book. I was pleased with myself. Im too old for this series but goodness it is my guilty pleasure

Anyone wondered if his name really is only W. W. Hale? The W's only stand for W's? That would be weird!

it would, but if Ally did do that, i have a feeling that a lot of people would not be too happy about it. Maybe she will tell in the last book if there are more to come

The mystery only adds to his sexiness. And when he was about to say his name and saw Kat, and then just went "doesn't matter", is not like I was expecting to find out his name. That's part of the character. Not knowing what the W.W. stand for, makes it all the more entertaining.

that is true. it does give him a sexy vibe but i think it would be super hilarious if on the last page his name was mentioned. and we are all shocked and say "um no way" or something cliche like that

mm, I like not knowing. Part of the fun of reading the series - for me at least- is not knowing his name. Trying to guess what one of the Ws stands for.

i agree. I really think of hilarious names that i would like to see what hale would think of them

Kea wrote: "i agree. I really think of hilarious names that i would like to see what hale would think of them"

I know a couple of names I would like to call him

I thought that it was hilarious. We have Hale, amongst the suavest people on the planet, can pretty much get what he wants, any girl he wants. He's sophisticated and he's seen as this incredibly good looking guy, and his name is 'Hale', which is just a really cool and fitting. But this is the same guy called 'scooter' so it's quite obvious that he's not always been that way. I think that it was Allys way of telling us more about his past without actually telling us. It also adds to the mystery, like now everyone's wondering why he's called 'scooter' just as much as they're wondering what the 'W' stands for...

Haha that is cool

I feel like we weren't really SUPPOSED to like the nickname. I think it was just there to remind us of one of the many subplots of Hale fitting into two different worlds and how when he's with Kat he's "Hale" but when he's at home he's "Scooter" or whatever. I guess it just fit with the conflict. I didn't mind at all considering how awesome the book still was ;)

^ That's a good interpretation :)

I definitely agree- the rest of the book was way too good for Ally to be careless with nicknames. She probably meant for it to sound as foreign to us as it did to Kat. I'm glad the other chick had a part in the fake will- I couldn'[t stand if their was a love triangle in another book!

I didn't like it. It sounded odd

It was kinda weird, but I think it was probably supposed to be like that... either way, it was an amazing book

It was silly and definitely not what I expected.

I was....surprised to say the least. (Like THIS is how his family see him????) Hmm...either way, it made me laugh.

I liked it. I thought it was funny.

Me too... can't wait to find out his real name! How long do you think Ally will make us wait to find out. Do you think she'll wait until the last book?

Forever. I like the mystery that comes with not knowing his name.

I completely agree with you, but I must admit that sooner or later I do want to know his name.

Anne wrote: "I completely agree with you, but I must admit that sooner or later I do want to know his name."

I'll rather It be later.

Yeah....probably.

I did get a kick out of it. At least I think its funny,but I want to know what the his real name is

I wasn't big on it. I also found it sort of annoying that everyone calls him by it... maybe it's just the fact that I really want to know his real name. Overall- wasn't thrilled by it. A bit disappointed but hey at least it's not his real name.

Alondra wrote: "I did get a kick out of it. At least I think its funny,but I want to know what the his real name is"

I agree.

She will tell us eventually- I like the mystery but at the same time she almost took it too far when he was JUST about to announce his name and then stopped. I was like :O NOT FAIR!!!

I know, right! We were soooo close!

it such a stupid nickname
SCOOTER
wt*?!?!?!

Scooter?
Too lame for Hale.
I definitely don’t like it.
Is there gonna be another book? Cause I really wanna know his real name!

I don't think you will find out his real name. I think not knowing his a part of why we like him as a character so much... why he is so intruiging :) x

I thought Scooter was his real name and Hale was his nickname? Or did I just read everything wrong?

Scooter is his nickname and Hale is his last name/family name, we don't know his first name x

it just doesnt match his personality. I didnt really like it...

I should of read this series carefully.... :)

Ally said on her website and Twitter that she REALLY wants to write more in the series, but she is writing another book right now! We'll have to wait a long time to figure out his name. (I really don't want to wait!)

Agreed.

I agree, I felt like the readers were supposed to be able to see how this nickname is all wrong. I feel like maybe it was a cutesy nickname when he was three or four and then even though he grew out of it, his family didn't care enough to stop calling him that. It made me feel like his family didn't know him all to continue calling him such an ill-fitting name.

And oddly enough, I'm (surprisingly) not that curious about his given name. I think just Hale is sexy as... Hale?!?!

Sorry, couldn't help myself. Now you know why my besties are books!

I like the way you think :3 LOL

I think that the name Hale was a metaphor for saying you dont have to know everything factual about a person to truly know them.
