But, people seem to love it and say It'suits me well. I am a blonde with very celtic (pale) skin. i've never been called heffer (at least not to my face ;)) People call me Heath and my family affectionatly calls me headherheadher...

I am vintage Heather, perhaps one of the founding females in the Heather-name curve since I was born in 1980. I think the name is cool. I did get Heather feather how's the weather❤️ Or even black leather heather feather. I was a lone Heather in a plethora of Jennifers in my day. The BIG problem with Heather was when I spent a year abroad in France. The H is silent and the "th" is non existent in that language. Everyone said "Bless You" when I said my name. That kind of sucked, but otherwise. Life as a Heather is a garden of delight.

My name is Heather Ashley, and I guess I am not your stereotypical "Heather" I have dark hair and tanned skin and most people think that I dont even look my name. I'must admit it took me a while to learn to like, even love my name. But I'must say that now I do love it, especially growing up in a generation full of Crystals, Jennifers and Stephanies. I dont really have a nickname, no one can ever'seem to find one out of my name'so if my name does get shortened, its usually just to "H".

I'm a Heather too. i've only know one other Heather and she is about 30 years older than me, so my name has never been an issue of popularity. I'm Heather Hagen and have never heard of another like me so It's nice to be unique in that way. The only flaw with my name is It's initial. My full initals makes H.A.H. so my brother just calls me HAH! (said to soundlike he is laughing) It began by him mocking me but now It's just kind of sweet. i've been called Heather Feather before just like a few of you other Heathe's but that kinda wore off after High School. Kinda wish i could have a choice of nicknames from 'Heather' but the only one i've got is 'thea' simply because that was the first thing my nephew could pronounce when he was learning my name. I guess the'special aspect about 'Heather' is the fact that it can't be shortened and it is pretty enough and elegant enough to suit just about anyone. I think my name is perfect the way it is. Oh yer, latin for Heather is Erica so if anyone likes that name you could make a few nicknames from that.

My name is Heather Monique, and I really adore my name. I was born in 2006, and have blondish hair with green eyes. My mom told me that any Heather'she's ever met has been cool and nice(: Some people call me: Hyper Heather, Heather Feather, Happy Heather, Heathy, Edder (little kids), He-ate-her (lol) and "H". Occasionally people accidentally spell my name "Hether", but not often. I think this is a totally awesome name, and It's unique, like me. GO HEAThe's!!!

It's not very unique most of the time, because sometimes I feel that it is too common or on the verge of becoming too common, and then I remember names that are way too common like Hannah, Emily, and Sara and I change my mind. Since Heather is a flower it makes It'sound a whole lot prettier :)

I'm another Heather Nicole. I was born mid-May of '89. I have flaxen blonde hair, medI'm-blue eyes and pale-olive skin. I'm of European/American Indian decent. In high school I knew only of two other Heather's and, yes, we had our own clique but we weren't popular, rich or snobby. I didn't like my name when I was young and planned to change it but I changed my mind when I found out it was a neat plant. For the Heather in the Negative Comments section saying that Calluna Vulgaris is a weed, shame, there are no weeds only plants out of place. Almost every plant does something; provide food or habitat for beneficial bugs and other wildlife, accumulate nutrients in top soil, or repel harmful insects. Heaths bloom in the winter'spring and Heathe's in the'summer and fall for almost year round blooms. i've heard you can use the leaf and bloom and make a medicinal tea. Every living thing has purpose.

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.

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❤️

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.

I'm Heather Marie born in 1985. I'm a brunnette with brown eyes. It's funny that I'm not a blonde with blue eyes since I'm Swedish, Norwegian, German and maybe Scottish. i've always loved my name! 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. Heather Feather. Heath Feath. Heathey. Come hither Heather. Heather Heather how's the weather❤️

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.

This should be an issue, but grew up in a class where all the girls were called Izzie, Lizzie, Ellie, Steph or something like that. It was just Heather...
