Fez for short?

Its also the name of a free version of the Linux operating system (I suppose related to Red Hat).

Sorry - it sounds like a lovely name but its ruined by association with hats and geeks.

lol at Hattie!

Just call her Hattie.

Imagine finding yourself having to explain that 'yes you know it's a hat, but in Russia it's a girl's name...' for the fiftieth time - you'll get fed up doing that and probably wonder why you didn't call her Jane!
And also think of the hilarious people who'll be asking you what you'll be calling the next one - Homburg? Bobble?
If I ever meet a girl called Fedora, I promise to say what a lovely Russian name it is! Good luck with your weeny one xxx

I used to work for a well-known examining board and there was a Fedora on their database. Whenever I saw it I made this face

I think everyone will assume you didn't know it was a hat

Trilby's actually a girl's name, Allnew - based on the title character from the novel by George du Maurier

Nope, I definitely meant Fedora. It is indeed an Italian hat, but also a Russian girl's name...
