I was soooo close to naming my second daughter Heather, but opted for Cecily in the end as it got a better reception on here! I think it's a beautiful flower and a beautiful name :)

Thoughts and impressions:It was very very popular.Why?I don't know.It's very harsh sounding and not pretty at all.I've known a ton of people with this name.It's my niece's name, but that doesn't cause me to like it any more.Would I use it? HELL NO. Even if I liked it, it was way way too popular, and it's sunk like a stone. All popular names sink eventually, but Heather has sunk faster than most, so it has become very dated very quickly.

I think it's very pretty. It is definitely dated in the US, but still sounds youthful. I understand that in UK, Heather is very much a grandmother's name, which is funny. Heather and Jennifer were popular there a long time before they were here, but Jessica is now way more popular there, having already hit its peak twenty years ago in the US.I wouldn't mind using Heather, though there's lots of other names I'd choose first.

Its nice. I would only use it for a character
It is nice but just not amazed by it. A bit plain

I actually think it is really pretty. I wouldn't use it myself because it is the name of my mom's stepsister and it is very dated.
