I'm naming my daughter Scout and my husband's surname is Jones, but i don't think that sounds very good so i want to give her a beautiful middle name which she can use as her surname or screen name in future.
What goes well with a short one syllable first name like Scout?

Uhhmmmm, looking ahead that far into the future? Screen name? that doesn't sound too healthy Mom.
Names are extremely important to the self esteem of every child. If she were to read what you wrote here , that in fact you don't think the name you picked out for her sounds very good so you want to dress it up, I think she would have hurt feeling. Again, she would be hurt to know that expectations of a career path were the reason for getting another name added. No deeper meaning than that?
Where is the pride for her father, her family, your side of the family? That is where I would look for inspiration. AND..... I would name her with the honor of a person you dearly love or admire, place Scout as her middle name and do honor to your husband by not bashing his surname as not unusual enough.
She may very well be a star some day but people change their names in most cases and she probably will hate the name Scout, just because it will give children a reason to be mean to her. Kids can be very cruel. My husband grew up as Richard the third and was called the Rick the turd .t
