Hattie

[KAEKAE]

What are your thoughts? I really like it, DP is unsure about it. DS is Oliver and I would like another traditional sounding name.

As above.

It's nice.

I love it

I've got a Harriet with Hattie for short. Love it. But don't use it, I don't want too many of them around

Harriet and then use Hattie as nickname

no.

this was my fav fav fav name for years...i cannot tell you!...(after a cheeky little girl who was my mum's friend's daughter)

anyway i cannot believe that i didnt go for it in th end as i had dd last year (i cant say my Rs very well..harriet)and also it means something yawny like 'landowner'

anyway...i really wih i had gone with hattie...i love it [wistful]

My friend has a gorgeous Hattie,her name really suits her,pretty,mischievous in a sweet way,sparky...Lovely name!

I think Hattie is very sweet, but my best friend has just called her new puppy this, so I cannot help but think of it as a dog's name now. Sorry.

I think it's sweet but would use Henrietta or Harriet as her 'proper' name and just shorten to Hattie.

I think it's a little dated for a name nowadays, from the charts:

www.babynamespedia.com/meaning/Hattie

I like it. I don't think it is dated in a bad way - it fits with the return of old fashioned names like Edith, Iris etc etc.

We are about to have DD2 and are strongly considering Esther or Hester shortened to Hetty.

Agree that it is lovely.
Also agree that it is short for Harriet and so I would give her the 'full' name and then call her Hattie - that way she has a choice.

There was a thread not so long ago with quite a lot of support for it as a name IIRC.

Sorry, it was Hetty but there is still support for both names

Harriet is a beautiful name and Hattie is a lovely shortening. Go for it!

No. I like names like Beatrix, Georgia, Juliet, Claudia etc... strong Victorian women's names. But Hattie would be the maid bringing them their tea.

Hattie/Hettie. Just don't like. I love Lottie though, so not sure why I dislike Hattie and Hettie so much. They are quite silly I think!

Harriet is like a cross between toilet and hairy.

So. That would be no to Hattie then!

This is DDs name and sometimes we call her Hattie or Hairy Hat!

Think it is an ace name.

But if you use it there will be too many and it will be common so please don't!

Hattie as the short version of Harriet / Henrietta is lovely and great with Oliver too.

It always reminds me of Tom's Midnight Garden, I loved that book as a child

dd2 is a Hattie after spending from 20 weeks to 38 weeks saying she was going to be Charlotte or Jessica dh announced he liked Hattie night before my elective c section, she arrived and it suited her so much, although everyones faces were when we told them (took my Mum ages to get used to it)

We pondered on whetehr to put Harriet on her birth certificate but opted for Hattie and her middle name is Alice (after dh's nan)

I am very biased and think its a lovely name and if you want to see pics of her they are on my profile!

Ah, she used Hatty...

I love it.

MadameCastafiore - I sort of know where you are coming from I think the very same about the names Molly and Maisy. (Names of the maids) ROFL. However I have never heard a Harriet being called hairy toilet?!?!?!??!
