Hedra

[tassellamp]

I've loved the name Hedy for a long time, because of Hedy Lamarr, but I do think Hedy is best suited to a nickname. Hedwig I love but I am not German, however I am from Devon (not quite Cornwall) and came across the name Hedra, a Cornish name.

What do people think of Hedra (nn Hedy)?

I went to secondary school with a girl named Hedy (Hedwig) - I know you probably shouldn’t choose or rule out a name based on potential taunts, but it really wasnt nice for her 😫

😬 it’s a resounding no from me!

Hettie, perhaps?

I know an Angharad known as Haddy, if you like that?

It sounds like a medicated shampoo

Hedera is the Latin (or maybe Greek) word for Ivy
so if you like the thought of Ivy perhaps that would be worth considering…!

Ilex is holly. Cant think of any more Latin plant names!
