Hattie or Hettie?

[PreciousPeach]

I know it is only a teeny difference but anyway which do you prefer?

[HolgerDanske]

Hettie. Bizarrely my split-second opinion was Hattie, but when I considered further I changed my mind. So, both, I guess. Which really doesn't help you

[Lesleythegiraffe]

Neither - I have a friend who called her DD Charlotte and thought it was a lovely name, then she calls her Lottie.

Sorry but I'm not a fan of abbreviated names

[findingherfeet]

Hattie

[peppinagiro]

What will it be short for?

[DealForTheKids]

I think I'd go Harriet with nn Hattie (I quite like Harriet) - Hettie reminds me this, which I currently have on my desk...

Also I'd be clear it's a nn - think you will always be asked 'what's it short for?' because both do sound very nn-ish.

If you can't choose between the nns then choose based on whcih of the given names you'll prefer. Henrietta or Harriet?

[sonlypuppyfat]

Harriette or Harriet I don't like shortened names.

[PreciousPeach]

It would 100% be Hettie or Hattie on the BC......I know it's a mumsnet thing having something "proper" on the BC but just as some may see them as being nicknamey I don't! so please don't try to persuade me!

[PreciousPeach]

So just to reiterate its which do you prefer Hattie or Hettie not Harriet or Henrietta! Thanks!

[fideline]

Hattie makes me think of Tom's Midnight Garden. Lovely.

[sonlypuppyfat]

I know a Hattie and when I call her harriette she always says thank you it makes me feel more grown up she's 9.

[MoominsYonisAreScary]

I know a Harriet nn hattie

I prefer hettie though!

[CheeseStrawWars]

Hattie can be rhymed with more rude things, so I'd go for Hettie.

[IpsyUpsyDaisyDo]

I have a Harriet & we call her Hatty. So I'd go with Hattie out of the two.

I don't think it's just a 'mumsnet thing' to have a full name on the birth certificate, your DD will always be explaining that Hattie / Hettie is her given name & not short for anything. I knew a bloke called Cass, he found it very irritating.

[MoominsYonisAreScary]

And ds3 has a nn on his bc too

[UnionofMultitaskers]

Hettie

[Beanymonster]

I like Hettie and il be the first to mention NCIS: la, henrietta lang? Hettie? The most amazing female inspiration.....

[mynameisnotmichaelcaine]

Ds2 was going to be Hetty if he was a girl. So obviously I prefer Hettie.

[BABaracus]

I also prefer Hettie!

[TessOfTheBaublevilles]

If bump is a girl, she'll be Harriet nn Hatty/Hattie, so Hattie gets my vote.

Hettie always makes me think of Hetty Wainthrop Investigates. (Surely I can't be the only person who remembers that show?)

[NewtRipley]

Well, since you've put your foot down, neither!. I love Harriet/Hattie

[AddUpToNothing]

Hettie for me.

[DramaAlpaca]

Hattie

[Alisvolatpropiis]

Neither.

[3DcAndMe]

Hattie

Hettie reminds me of the Hoover
