Help[Opinions] Re: Opions on Hattie?
in reply to a message by Wish Fish
yup, im in the south and know 2 young hatties (even a Hatley). dont like the name, i can only think of hats and british people. dont like harriet either, because it sounds like hairy and reminds me of british people.
why: not sure. but like other commenters noted, we pronounce it Haddie. which is pretty similar to other popular names here, like Hadley, Maddie, Addie, etc.
and in general, 2 syllable nicknames that end with -ie are the thing right now.

For the record, I speak British English and when Harriet sounds like Hairy-et, it sounds American to me. We use a short a sound, as in snap.
