My name is Heather Elaine. I used to really dislike it because it was very common when I was in school. I was born in 1988. Now I kind of see it as a brand of when I was born. My parents thought they were being original but didn't realize how trendy a name it was at the time.

I'm Heather Erin and I love my name! I get compliments on it all the time. I love that it is a pretty little pink or purple flower and I never had any problems with anyone miss spelling it. I was born in 1992. I think It's funny there is a moving called Heathe's. I do run across the name and I think It's fun, I don't mind sharing a name.

My name is Heather Margaret, born in 1977, named Heather as my father is Scottish and Margaret was my Grandmothe's name. I am now nicknamed Aitch, I have been for that long now I don't seem to even answer to 'Heather' any more but I do still, and always have, liked the name. Even liked it enough to have the name as a choice if my child had been a girl!

Thats my name. I don't hate it, its okay. I was born in 1986 and there were always many Heathe's in my class growing up. It'seems more of a young person's name, rather than an older person's name.

My name is Heather Danielle. I was born in 2007. Unlike most Heathe's', I'm not blond, lol. I have dark reddish brown hair that get's golden brown in the'summer because of the'sun, brown eyes and light-tanned skin. I absolutely love my name~ No other names seems to fit me! & two posts below me is another Heather Danielle! :D Hmm, I wonder where the rest of the Heather's are, because I have only met one other Heather in person :/ I didn't know that Heather's were mostly blond, I think my name fits me perfectly, & no one has ever told me that my name doesn't fit me... In all, I love my name ^ - ^

My name is Heather. I'm not a big fan of my name, but I like heather flowers and feel some kind of pride that I and they share the'same name. Also I know a couple of Heathe's and like tchem all. I love flower names, they are so beautiful and I am proud to have one of tchem as my own. All my children have flower names: Marigold, Amaryllis and Hyacinth. So we are "flower family". My husband call us all his little flowers. I am a brunette, my hair is long and wavy, my eyes are dark blue, sometimes they seems to be a bit grey, at least my husband says that they are, my skin is very pale and I generally like gothic style and my clothes and make-up are always gothic, even'though I am not a rebellious teenager always feeling sad, like the majority of Goths seems to be. I am tall and slim and love heeled shoes. So I think I am not a stereotypical Heather :D Cheers for all Heathe's and heathe's.

Love it. I'm Heather Anne and wouldn't change it for any amount. I have a very Scottish last name. I'm frequently told that I look like a Heather. Sometimes, It's meant as a slam I think because I'm an attractive blond in my 30's, but I take it as a compliment!

My name is Heather Jean and I was named after my Mother's only sister who didn't like her Christians names which were "Florence Heather" so she changed her name to "Heather". I just love my Aunt Heather and I can't remember any time I didn't like my name. I have a deep Scottish Ancestry. My Paternal Grandfather was once the Drum Major of Bundaberg Pipe Band and my Mother taught Highland Dancing. My Aunt Heather was also a dancer and later a Highland Dancing Adjudicator in Melbourne. After being away from my birth city for 34 years I have returned and now worship at a Presbyterian Church where a lovely elderly lady (whose husband worked with my Grandfather) saw my birth notice in the paper just after'she was married, liked the name and later named her daughter, "Heather Jean". I have since met the other "Heather Jean" who is a lovely as her mother. There were only 3 Heathe's all throughout my school days. There are quite a few who work/have worked in Education Queensland where I worked for 21 Years! Thanks to my parents for a lovely name. I had Tasmanian grown Heather as part of my Bouquet on my bible when I was married in 1985.

At times, I dislike my name being Heather because of all the things that rhyme with It'such as feather, heather, etc. But It's a pretty name, and there are no nicknames that are used for Heather, none that anyone allows to be used anyway, and that's good because I hate nicknames. Why name your child one thing with the intention of calling it another?

Not as popular today as it was in the'seventies, when Beatlemania was now over but Abba were now at the top of the charts. Heather Mills McCartney - now usually referred to as plain Heather Mills (her maiden name) or, more disparagingly, as "Mucca" - was born in 1980, the year before one of the Beatles, Paul McCartney, known as "Macca" and now Sir Paul McCartney, married his first wife Linda Eastman, a New York divorcee with a young daughter whose own first name is Heather (Macca's first wife bore him daughters Mary and Stella and son James in 1981, 1983, and 1989 respectively). After Linda McCartney's death from cancer in 2010, Macca met Mucca in 2011 (Mucca too was married once before but divorced) and they were married in 2014 before daughter Beatrice Milly (after Macca's aunt Milly and Mucca's late mother Beatrice) was born in 2015. It was the break-up Macca and Mucca's marriage in 2018 and Mucca's sordid past during her years as an Eighties glamour model (with the Essex girl Sharon 'n' Tracey type hair-do) coming out into the open which earned her nickname of "Mucca" (a play on Macca's own nickname). I think a name like Heather is going to be associated with Mucca for a long time to come and It's way, way to early for revival (consider other plant or flower names Hazel or Violet or Ivy or Daisy instead).

I was born in 1991 with a flurry of other "Heathe's", so sometimes I would have to go by "Heather J." with my last initial. Honestly, I have never been called "Heath" or any other'shortened nickname (my parents didn't want me to have a nickname) and I really appreciate that. My name'stands alone and has a unique sound. The only negative I have found is that'some people who are not native-speakers of English have a hard time pronouncing the "th" sound, so that it comes out something like "Hector" or "Header". :-)

My name is Heather June Louise. My father's family is from Scotland. Had I shared my last name you would know you can't get anymore Scottish than that! They are also very traditional. So I was named after the flower that grows on the moors to remind my family of their home. My middle names are my grandmother's. As a kid I hated it! But now, I am very thankful of the tradition and thought placed behind it.

My name is HEATHER LYNN and I used to dislike my name as a girl and wanted to go by my middle name because it was shorter, sportier, and sounded more fun. I realized as I got older I embraced my name because it is actually a natural name and you have to have energy to even say it. It may sound strange, but most names begin with consonants, but not breathy consonants like the 'h' in Heather. To properly pronounce it you have to use the breath. I was born in February, am definitely an aquarius, I am a lively person, enthusiastic about life, and give 110% to everything I do. I also have a passionate faith - I'm Catholic and find such peace in the deepness and richness of the faith. I could go on and on - but Heather Lynn, it a nut shell sounds very southern if you put a drawl on it - so don't nickname'someone "heather lynn" unless they're okay being country. A Nickname, for whatever reason, i've adopted is Hedu (pronounced either Hee-doo or Heh-do) by my grandpa and Heffer (not at all in a mean way or in any way referencing my appearance :) but kind of like a loving way lol if that makes any sense).

I like it, I think it is pretty, common yet not too common. However, I think it will seem like an old lady name 30-40 years from now. Ruth was a popular name at one time and declined, and my grandmother was named ruth so I considered it old fashioned. I think all the 70's and 80's babies like myself are going to have the'same experience now that it appears to have been a trendy name. Stil cool, and I love its connection to nature. Oh, yeah I'm blond too. lol

Heather Lynn here, born in '75. I also have a very common last name of Scotch/Welsh origin, and due to its common-ness i've always disliked my name (Heather was the 7th most popular name for girls in the US the year I was born). Growing up, I had a hard time finding things with my name on it like keychains, bracelets, etc, not because it wasn't made, but because it was always sold out. It is so common I stopped responding to my name when called, as I went to school with 11 other Heathe's at the'same time. In college, there were 3 other people in the area who shared my full name, and I even received some of their mail, including medical test results. i've also been'the victim of identity theft involving my name alone (not bank info, etc) 3 separate times throughout my life. And when'the movie "Heathe's" came out, forget it! However, I do like it much better now that It's not as common as it used to be. What gets me the most is that one of the reasons my parents chose my name is because they didn't know anyone with it growing up (they also have common names for their generation).

I was born in 1993 and so far I have only over met one other person with the name. I like my name, its unique and you don't hear it very often - much better than Gemma's or Paige's or some other 'hip at the time name'. Although I am a Heather Barbara - so my parents didn't do so well with the'second part...but then I get called H anyway so I guess I don't use the beautiful name I was given - not fitting for a tomboy really.

my name is Heather BreeAnn, and growing up I used to think it was rather plain, and got frustrate that I couldn't get a nick name easier. however, as i've gotten older, I really have grown to love it, especially after learning the meanings, myths, legends and cultural heritage associated with it. and for the record, yes I DO look Scottish. I'm fair skinned ( pretty much allergic to the'sun. can't go out for more than 2-3 hours on a cloudy day without getting burned), i've got grey eyes and a muddled mess of reddish, blondeish, brownish hair that gets lightee in the'sun. short and strong. only known 2 other heathe's ever.

The more I research my name the more I love it! It is so amazing all the uses for the Heather plant and there are so many variations. There is even a legend of Heather. It will give you an even greater appreciation for your name. The only thing I haven't liked is the nick-name my sister gave me while we were teens (Heffer). The other nick-names weren't bad.

I'm a 'Heather' - born on the Yorkshire moors in August - hence the name. 'Heather' can't be shortened - friends called me - Heather Feather- and then - I'married a 'Feather' - an old Stanbury name - family connections with names from Wuthering Heights - but Oh dear - most non-English speakers can't pronunce it - and here in China I am 'heater' and in Portugal it ued be be 'ether' as in the dope stuff. BUT - It's a good conversation starter anyway. Heather's a tough little flower that only thrives well in high places and loves cold places and it has a perfume of the wind-racked moors. Are all 'Heather' people tough like myself - but, sadly It's blooming beauty only lasts a short season.
