Hattie (Full name Harriet)

[Sleepyhead11]

What are people's thoughts? DP and I love it, but one friend said it's a bit precious.

I don't like Harriet, I find it very unfeminine. Hattie is cute but sounds like a little hat..?

How about Henrietta or Helena?

Love it.

I love Harriet, I don't like Hattie though. I prefer Harri or Ettie.

Love Harriet, nn Hattie or Ettie xx

DD is a Harriet, we call her Hatty or Hats. I love the name obvs
I had a schoolfriend called Harriet, we all called her Harry.
We met a Hattie on holiday, she was just Hattie not a Harriet. DD felt a bit sorry for her and her 'lack of options'!

DD is Harriet. Insisted on Harriet till she was about 13 then became Harry.

Hattie always reminds me of Hattie Jakes and that's not too flattering.

I know 2 Hattie's who's full name is Harriet.
I love Harriet (was one of my top 2 for this baby) but I don't like Hattie and that's what put me off using it as a first name

Love it.

I like it. Hetty is a bit funkier though, in my opinion.

I wonder why a short easy to say name like Harriet needs to be shortened? And why this needs to be planned in advance? She may prefer to be known as Harriet, Harry or something else.

It’s always been my favourite girls name. Love it! Hattie or Hari as a nn.

I really like Harriet but prefer Harry as a nn to Hattie.

I don't think it's precious at all. Harriet isn't my cup of tea as a name, but it's fine. I know two Hatties and both are short for Harriet.

I like it.

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE Hattie but HATE HATE HATE Harriet! I don't know why but ever since I was little I've always said I hated the name Harriet .. it's so British and I don't find it very pretty sounding or feminine.. but Hattie is absolutely gorgeous😍

The Harriet we know goes by Hetty... both nice names.

I don't find Hariett feminine at al. It feels like it should be Harriette or Harrietta!

Really like it. Like Hattie and Ettie as diminutives.

I love Harriet

Lovely name

I used to hate it when I was younger and think it was too posh. However, I now know an adult Harriet/Hattie and she is totally cool and not posh and it has changed my mind - I think it's a great name for a child or adult.

I don’t like Hattie.

Quite like Harriet. Harri is a nicer nn.

Love it.

Love Harriet. DD was very nearly called Harriet (nn Hallie - old English shortening). Lovely name. Was top of our list right before her birth!

I love Hattie, but I really hate Harriet. Something about it is just so frumpy and unfeminine sounding.
