So we have a few DC already.... baby due VERY soon!!
All begin with a H (didn't actually plan this) but can't break the cycle now!

I had a name for a boy that I absolutely loved but we've ended up having another little girl and for the life of me I'm struggling to find a H name that I love??

Any H names would be appreciated everyone because currently she's just been called baby H!!! Xx

I like Hattie but do think it has to be short for Harriet (or Henrietta) as it’s a bit of a little girl name.

You could spell it Harriette French style - or just introduce her as Harriet nn Hattie - it’s a very common name so your friend shouldn’t mind.

H names that can’t be shortened

hazel
hero
honor
hebe

Unfortunately:

Haze, Ro, He…you can shorten anything.

Has anyone suggested Hecate?

Listen- If Henry, Hetty and Harry can have a sibling called James, then I also think you can go off piste.

I have a Halia :) but it's certainly unique. I get lots of comments on how lovely her name is but I used to have an elderly neighbour who when she asked what her name was said 'I don't like that, it's awful' 😅😅😅 so it's very much a love or hate name.

I actually love this name !!!!! How unusual but it's such a pretty name IMO. This is definitely on the list now x

@MaChienEstUnDick I thought harlow was unisex to personally

But I love a few you've mentioned
My 2 favourite are halia, Hadie

So my list so far is
Hattie, halia, hadie and hope !! Xx

villamariavintrapp · 19/09/2022 13:17

Hadie? Pronounced like the god of the dead and hell? Hmm not one I'd choose. Halia is a bit bad breath.. But Hope is ok.

Whattodonowadays · 19/09/2022 13:21

My little girl is called hazel and I’ve never met another one.

NannyR · 19/09/2022 13:23

Hadie is a bit close to Hades, not a great namesake.

Hadie is 1000001% out of the picture now! I never look into meanings of names....

My boy is called Harley which is used for a boy and a girl. And not to common.
