Frumpy? Pretty? Can't decide!

I think it is a beautiful name, and unusual enough throughout time.

It's lovely. I know a 4yo Heather, she's wild and outdoorsy and it suits her Smile

SquigglePigs · 02/02/2022 20:58

It's lovely and works on all ages!

Snowiscold · 02/02/2022 20:59

I don’t like it, sorry. It’s frumpy to me.

hellosunshineagainx · 02/02/2022 21:00

I love it

SunshineOnKeith · 02/02/2022 21:00

Uncommon, classic, underused.

The 'th' found is tricky for non-native English speakers though

Aquamarine1029 · 02/02/2022 21:02

Hate it. Sorry.

littlebilliie · 02/02/2022 21:04

Love it and Hazel

DotDotDotDotDot · 02/02/2022 21:31

I think it’s a very pretty name.
May be pronounced Hea-va though, Eastenders style, not so nice.

Luredbyapomegranate · 03/02/2022 09:05

It’s frumpy to me, although not as frumpy as Hazel. (I think it might be the pronunciation mentioned by PP above, I worked with an HEH-va and an AE-zell.)

Eileen101 · 03/02/2022 09:06

Beautiful and timeless.

Slightly biased though as I have a wonderful friend heather (early 30s).

emmathedilemma · 03/02/2022 10:03

Frumpy (possibly not helped by the ones I know!

redbigbananafeet · 03/02/2022 10:07

I love the PP description of the Heather she knows being wild, free and outdoorsy

StopForAMinute · 03/02/2022 10:11

I really like Heather. It's a lovely name. But it does make me think of Hev off Eastenders.

FreshBananasEverywhere · 03/02/2022 10:33

Love it. It was on my shortlist, but given where I live now, everyone would pronounce it Heh-va, so that put me off it.

CathyorClaire · 03/02/2022 10:35

Frumpy.

Never known a nice one either so may be slightly biased Grin

Bluemamma · 03/02/2022 13:30

Beautiful name in my opinion !

mondler · 04/02/2022 22:52

It's my fav girls name but I sadly cant use it due to my surname.

bxbynxmelxver4 · 05/02/2022 03:04

Lovely
