Heather?

[MissMoodyMoo]

We both added Heather into the mix last night and it's started to grow on me. Problem is I HATE when people shorten it to hev it really makes my skin crawl it's an awful Nick name😞 but is it unavoidable?

I know an adult heather and an infant school age heather. Both are heather. Not shortened at all.

I know 3 of different ages and none are Hev.
If Hev makes your skin crawl use as a mn.

Nice, and I think reasonably unlikely to be shortened.

My sister is called Heather and has never got "hev". I also had a friend at school called Heather who never was given a nickname.

I’m not keen. I always hear ‘heavier’ but that’s probably just me. I know a baby called Heather and everyone was very

I've known two, neither of them got their name shortened. I think it's a lovely name.

Never heard of Heather being shortened to Hev, or to anything else either.

Never heard of Heather = Hev either.

I know a Heather who gets called Hettie which I think is a lovely name x

I'm quite partial to the non-soppy plant girls names and heather is lovely.

Know 2. Never shortened

Ohhh hettie 😍😍😍 I actually think I might love it!

Heather is a lovely name. I’ve only ever heard or shorted to ‘H’ 😀

I do if Hettie wasn’t one of my closest friends I would’ve used it! X

Hmm, I wouldn't go for Heather as it's synonymous with the classic 80s movie Heathers for me.

Interestingly it's getting something of a revival as it's having 30th anniversary screenings in cinemas in a couple of weeks and there's the new Heathers the musical is on right now in the West End. Very popular with teens.

Hettie is actually short for Henrietta.

Heather is so lovely, really pretty. I love Hettie too. It's not a very common name as well so I think it'd be good at school instead of having a name that everyone has (which mine do!) Go for it!

My first thought was Heathers too, which is not a great association. But otherwise, it's fine. Hettie is cute.

I've just seen Heathers The Musical so it makes me think of that.

The musical has been a success so is just about to transfer to a larger theatre, if that success continues it might be linked by more than just my generation.

It made me think of the film too, but I saw that as a positive. I loved it when I was younger.

Heather: tough, pretty and wild. Lovely name

I know 2 heather’s. Both are definitely a heather.

Anyone else thinking of red scrunches and croquet mallets?

I know a Heather in her 20s whose name was shortened to Hev. However, I know plenty of other people who insist on going by their full name.

I've never come across Hev as a nn for Heather

Hettie would work fine as a nn
