Hetty

[AverageMummy]

Struggling to agree names. We have a Clara already.

I love the name Hetty but I’ve never really liked ‘nicknames’ as full names. I think Henrietta is ok but don’t love it (don’t love Hester or Heather either).

What do you think of Hetty?

Oh that's funny Treaclesponge, I never heard of a chicken called 'Hetty', I probably will now you've mentioned it!

As for 'Hoovers', or vacuums, when I was little my mum had one called a Goblin. I was terrified of it, it was kept in a box which had a horrible face picture on it.

Mehetable is a pilgrim/pioneer name that shortens to Hetty.

Clara and Hetty! Fab combo!

People call kids Billy or Charlie or Jessie all the time I don’t see why she can’t be Hetty. I like it.

Makes me think of old ladies and hoovers

I have Hettie dog 😉 very clever & feisty 🤣

I went to school with a hester nn hetty

Do you like Harriet nn Hattie?

Hoover

I love love love Hetty and Harry but I’d have a full name on the BC.
Hetty/ Harry reminds me of Tom’s Midnight Garden.

I also love Clara and the combination.

Agh autocorrect - all the Harrys should be Hattys.

It reminds me of 'het up' meaning agitated.

I like it as a short form of Harriet or Esther.
