Okay, so the other day I kept hearing about this basketball player, Scoot Henderson. You know how it is, you hear a name floating around, especially a catchy one like “Scoot”.
It got me thinking, is that his actual, given name? “Scoot”? Seems more like a nickname, right? Lots of athletes have them. So, I got curious. I figured, I gotta check this out, just for my own peace of mind.
So, what I did was pretty straightforward. I went over to my computer, fired it up. Opened up my usual web browser.
Then I just clicked into the search bar. I typed something simple, like “scoot henderson real name” or maybe it was “what is scoot henderson’s actual name”. Something along those lines, you get the idea. Didn’t need anything fancy.
Hit enter. And boom, the results started loading up.
Took me like, maybe two seconds to scan the first few results. Pretty much right there at the top, clear as day.
The Answer
It turns out “Scoot” is indeed a nickname. His real first name is Sterling. So, his full name is Sterling Henderson.
Makes sense. Sterling sounds much more like a given name than Scoot. It’s funny how nicknames stick, sometimes even more than the real ones. Anyway, that was my little discovery journey for the day. Just a quick search, really. Now I know.
