What is the name of F. Scott Fitzgerald's daughter?

F. Scott Fitzgerald's daughter was Frances Scott “Scottie” Fitzgerald, commonly known as Scottie Fitzgerald.

Scottie was the only child of novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald and Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald. She was born on October 26, 1921, in Saint Paul, Minnesota, during the period when her father was becoming one of the leading literary voices of the Jazz Age. Her unusual name combined “Frances Scott” with the family nickname “Scottie.”

Fitzgerald drew on family life when writing The Great Gatsby. Zelda's description of the baby as a “beautiful little fool” was later adapted into Daisy Buchanan's famous remark about the daughter she hopes to have. The Fitzgeralds moved to Great Neck, Long Island, soon after Scottie's birth, and that setting helped inspire the novel's fictional geography.

Scottie later attended Vassar College and worked as a writer, journalist, and political activist. She wrote for publications including The New Yorker and The Washington Post. Because “Zelda Fitzgerald” was her mother's name and “Martha” and “Sheila” belong to other literary or biographical contexts, they are common distractors rather than valid answers.
