Hetty?

[squanderer]

Is this better as a nickname for something or is it fine alone do you think?

I like it but probably prefer Hattie.

I I ever convice dp ttc dc2 then Harriet/Hattie is my name choice.

Needs to be a nickname.

I think it is perfectly fine on its own.....i do love it as a shortening of Harriet tho....

If my DS had been a DD I was going to use Heather, with Hetty as the NN. I love it. It's my mil's middle name too so would have earned me brownie points!

I used to work in an old ladies' shoe shop. We specialised in really sturdy, wide-fitting shoes in varying shades of beige. The most hideous, old-fashioned design we sold was called hettie. Only people with very bad bunions bought hetties.

I love Hetty, it was on my shortlist if this baby (due shortly) had been a girl.

love it

To me it always sounds like a Sloane-y nickname along the lines of Tiggy but thats probably because I knew a very Sloaney Hetty at college (I think it was short for Henrietta in her case).

I don't like it.

I knew a Hettie, and for some reason I like that spelling.

We know a 9 yr old Hetty- it's short for Hester in her case. Love it. Not sure about giving a shortened version as full name though.
