Hattie

[DilysMoon]

Dh really likes Hattie but we already have a Harry. Full name would be Hattie Autumn Elisabeth, it's starting to grow on me but am not sure about it going with Harry or what reactions I would get to it as it's not a name I've heard anywhere before (apart from Hattie Jacques )

I like it and it reminds me of Tom's Midnight Garden. I don't think it matters that you have a Harry

I have a Harriet who is almost always, always Hattie. So whilst I understand that Harriet probably isn't an option for you, I just wanted to affirm that Hattie is a bloody super name. .

I like it but I think it's a nn for Harriet, people would assume you have a Harry & Harriet which I think is a bit odd for siblings.

I have met two baby Hatties in the last four months. Its jolly.

I like it but it's too close to harry, I'd assume it was short for Harriet too

I think it's dreadful, really frumpy.

I like the name but think it's a NO if you already have a Harry?

Lottie?
Evie?
Lucie?

Awful. Its the name of a chubby little Shetland pony.

Given that Hattie is a short form of Harriet, which is a feminine form of Harry, you'd basically be giving both children the same name.

It's like people who names a daughter Elizabeth, and then one Isabel, when Isabel is the Spanish form of Elizabeth. They might be different, but at the root, they're the same name.

So as much as I love Hattie, is a no from me.

It's very pretty

What about Hettie?
Harry and Hattie are a bit too similar for my taste

Love Hattie/hettie!! Not at all frumpy, or ugly, really really pretty

It's lovely and reminds me of the sweet little Hattie in Tom's Midnight Garden. Agree it doesn't sound quite right with Harry though.

Thanks all, pretty much what I thought. I do love Lucy hatsy but fancied something a bit more adventurous, but Lucy is about only girls name we do agree on

I like it but I would prefer it as a nn. For Harriet or maybe Henrietta, but obviously you can't do that as you have a Harry. Personally I would look for another name..

They're both derivatives of the same name. Like having a Henry and Harry, or George and Georgia.

Too close for me.

Hmmm they are a bit matchy... It might look like you have no imagination and just named them the same thing in male / female versions...

Lucy is lovely, and goes much better with Harry.

I don't think Hattie works, sorry.

Another I like is Betsy or Bessie which she would be called but have Elisabeth on birth certificate. Dh not keen..,

It's lovely, sweet.

Betsy is so sweet
Charlotte nn Lottie?
Leticia nn Lettie? (Lettice is a bit too wacky?)

Katherine nn kitty?

Super cute names op. Love them both x
