Heath?

[hoosyermama]

My due date is very soon and it's a boy. I have always loved the name Heath, DD is Daisy. What do you think? I like nature names and I think they work really nicely together. Surname is 3 syllables beginning Peter.

The other enduring favourite is Harry, despite it's popularity. Both names work really well with the surname.

Opinions please!

I used to go out with a Heath, short for Heathcliff. He was very handsome but a bit of a fool. I always thought it was a good name though, and still do.

I love nature names and think Daisy and Heath work so well! Go for it!

Heathcliff
Heath Ledger

what is there not to like! (apart from getting into debate about the cruelty of heathcliff in w. heights, but taken at face value as a romantic hero!) fab name.

Great name. Love it. Especially with a longer surname.

Heath is much nicer than Harry. Great choice!

Thanks! That's really encouraging! You're all echoing my thoughts! Anyone else??!

Love it. It was on my list for DC1 but DP says it makes him think of Kate Bush (!?)

Daisy and Heath! awwww lovely!

I really like it.

And Daisy & Heath go beautifully together.

They do actually sound lovely together!!! But I have a friend Heather, who I shorten to Heath! So although a different sound, that's what it looks like to me! Nature names, I love Daisy and River ??

Thanks for your feedback! :) I do like River too anthony but DP doesn't! He does like Heath though! It's a very real possibility... Just need to think of a mn name now! Any other thoughts? TIA

Love it. Harry is nice but Heath is nicer.

Absolutely LOVE Heath! ..much better and far less common than Harry Go for it! x

It's nice. I'd rather go out with a Heath than a Harry - it has bit of a cool, rugged thing going on, whereas Harry's a bit cute.

Heath is lovely.

What middle names are you thinking?

You do know that both River Phoenix and Heath Ledger died in drug-related circumstances?Don't those names make you think about that a little bit?

Choco, I still don't know about the mn! Probably a family name therefore something quite traditional, or perhaps Heath can become the mn, not sure! It's just getting the balance right with the way it flows & there's 3 syllables in the surname so single or double syllable names work best with it. Ideas???!!!

Anonymosity, I have to admit I've never thought of drug related death when I think of the name Heath! He wouldn't be named after Heath Ledger and there are plenty of other Heath's in this world!

TheSecondComing, not sure what you mean by salesman-y?! But fair enough!

Any other thoughts on male nature names that aren't too "out there"!

I like it, although round my way it would get pronounced Heaf, which would piss me off...

My DH liked Forest when we were looking for a name. Any good?

Heaf! There's always the risk of that! I love Forest, great suggestion! Any others? Pref one or two syllables!

Don't like it. Love Daisy though.

Daisy and Rowan

I DO love Rowan, pronounced Ro-an? Rather than ROW-an iyswim! Surname ends in n so I tend to avoid n ending names (& so many good ones!) but it actually sounds quite good with the surname... Hmmm
