Help[Opinions] Re: Opions on Hattie?
in reply to a message by Wish Fish
No idea, though I would like to know where you got that info. I doubt any name is "exclusively" used in any particular state.
I think Hattie fits in with names like Elsie and Millie and Josie. Old-fashioned nicknames used as full names. I'd expect to see Hattie used in upper-middle-class families or higher, just because that's the kind of names that demographic seems to go for.
To me, Hattie is very much an "old black lady" name. Like Bessie or Beulah (full disclosure: my stepfather's grandmother was named Beulah and she was white as the driven snow.)
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
