Hattie

[PreciousPeach]

So today I'm crushing on the name Hattie. Astrid is also in the running.

Which do you prefer Astrid or Hattie. I personally would go with Hattie on the birth cert (I know that this would not be everyone's choice but I am certin on that)

What vibe do you get from each name. Is Hattie too cutey cutey? Is Astrid too harsh?

Thanks in advance!

largebustedmam is there any particular reason you sister doesn't like her name, is it just Hattie she doesn't like or Harriet?? I would love to be called Hattie!

Hattie is gorgeous but I'd use as a nn for Harriet.

I think Hattie sounds really cute, but I was at school with a girl called Hattie. She was quite overweight, and lots of people referred to her as 'Fatty Hattie', so it turned out to be a really unfortunate choice of name for her.

Sorry, I feel mean mentioning this, but just thought I should point it out.

I also immediately thought of Hattie Jacques - and I love the name; it's a bit quirky but in a good way

Hattie is my top favourite girl's name ever, and I can never use it because it does not go with our surname. Sob.

I think Hattie seems to be winning and is moving to the top of my list.

I like Hattie Clementine

My dh is finally coming round to the name Hattie

Hattie is an excellent choice! We have one (short for Harriet, but forever known as Hattie) - not too popular, but not outrageous. Still adore it 13 years after she was born.

Hattie is a cute nn but I'd not like it as my full name for job interviews etc. I don't like diminutives for BCs because it takes away flexibility, I think it's always better to have choice.

Re Astrid, I don't particularly like the name but I'd not be worried about 'ass' because it's not particularly widely used in the UK. If it was Arsetrid that would be very different!
