Hattie?

My grandma just passed away a couple months ago and her name was Harriet/Hedwig with a nickname of Hattie.  I think Hattie is cute, but not really a fan of Harriet.  Is Hattie too much of a nickname to use alone as a first name?  Or would you just consider doing Harriet for the formal first name and not really using it?  I've seen Henrietta as another first name option, but if I'm going to use Hattie, I want to use it to honor my grandma, you know?

This, I've seen it spelled Haddie as well.

I LOVE Harriet!!

And I do like the idea of having a more fomal name, Harriet, and using Hattie as a nickname. Think about job applications and college graduation.

I like it as a nickname for Harriet. It seems a bit too cute for a stand-alone name.

I thought that the nickname for Henrietta was usually Hettie/Hetty.

I love Hattie! I think it's adorable and totally works by itself. And that fact that it's to honor someone who meant a lot to you...perfect! go for it!

Hattie is cute but I think I like it better when its Haddie. Just seems less nicknamey and more like an actual name.

Personally, I'd go with Harriet/Hattie.  That's super cute.  I do think Hattie is too nickname-y and I always try to imagine what if I have a very serious daughter who wants to be a judge or something and she has a "cute" name.

I think Hattie is adorable. It immediately made me think 'old lady', so I think it ages well and also passes the "resume test" for me. I do also think Harriet is really cute too though! So my vote goes to just Hattie or Harriet/Hattie. I really don't like Henrietta at all.

I love Harriet and like Hattie but I think Hattie will still honor your grandmother just fine. GL!
