What I’d Name After Me (And Why It Matters)

Daily writing prompt

If you could have something named after you, what would it be?

View all responses

If I could have something named after me, I think I’d want it to be a safe space.

Not a building, necessarily—though I do love the drama of a beautifully designed structure with my name carved in stone—but more like a concept. A feeling. A space people step into and instantly feel seen, softened, and stronger.

Maybe it’s a room in a women’s center. Maybe it’s an annual award given to someone who chose compassion over competition. Maybe it’s a scholarship for someone who thought their glow-up was impossible—but applied anyway. Maybe it’s the name of a moment. The “Dorey Moment,” when someone looks in the mirror, after everything they’ve been through, and finally says: “I’m proud of who I’ve become.”

Because after all the caregiving, the rebuilding, the heartbreaks and the hard pivots… the thing I’d want named after me would carry hope in its hands.

And yes—after all that meaning and metaphor, I fully support a signature latte or skincare line being named after me too. (Might I suggest The Dorey Glow™ Latte and From Fear to Fierce™ Face Oil? Because why shouldn’t my legacy hydrate and illuminate?) Books, bundles, and maybe even a guided journal that helps you reclaim your softness without losing your fire. Something equal parts velvet robe and war paint.

Legacy should feel like home—with a little shimmer.

But the heart of it? I’d want the thing named after me to remind people that grace is powerful. And that survival is a kind of legacy all its own.

Dorey Duncan Scott Senior Litigation Paralegal

Hi! I’m Dorey Duncan Scott, a mother of three, wife and fashion entrepreneur. I started my career in fashion back in the early 90’s when I did print, still and runway modeling. I studied Fashion Merchandising, Music Business and Marketing, while also obtaining certificates in such industry-necessary areas such as make-up, styling and runway choreography. In addition, I had work as a spokesmodel for several brands, appearing in print and in person. As a former model, turned senior litigation paralegal, artist manager and on-air personality with a passion for fashion, beauty, and personal development, I bring a unique combination of style, strategic thinking, and legal expertise to my work. My years navigating the legal world have sharpened my attention to detail, while my experience and passion for fashion, beauty, and personal development drives my desire to help others feel empowered and help them in their journey toward self-empowerment. My experience in the fashion world has taught me the power of confidence.
