User Comments about the name Heather
Comment left Nov 03, 2009: "My name is Heather Danielle. I have mixed feelings about my name. My family often gives me the nickname of heifer. I like the meaning of my name, which means heather flower. I have dirty blonde hair and hazel eyes. I am short for my age." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Oct 27, 2009: "I've had mixed feelings about the name. It reflects my heritage (Irish & Scottish).
But, combined with the surname MacDonald, it is very common and I've had a few major issues with that.
People do seem to LOVE it and comment on how well it suits me. I'm a blond with Celtic skin (very fair).
I've never been called "heifer" (at least not to my face ;)) Friends will occasionally call me Heath and my family affectionately calls me headherheadher..." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Oct 13, 2009: "My name is Heather Lynne as well......and it's a great name! It's so original and pretty....people have told me they want my name. Any girl would be lucky to have this name. It's one of a kind! By the way...I am light brown with golden highlights (natraul of coarse)." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Aug 21, 2009: "My name is Heather Nichole and I love my name! Heather means flower, and the first time I found them at the garden center and smelled the strong honey scent I fell in love with the plant as well. It is also said to have been used by Kings since ancient times." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Aug 13, 2009: "I am Heather Lynn, I can see that Im not the only one here! I used to dislike my name but after hearing the story of my sister standing up to my mother for trying to name me Rosemary! I just HAD to thank my sister and I have come to learn to love my name Its just great! My husband loves it too. I noticed how many mentioned that Heather doesnt have a nickname but I do, Hea. I love it also." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jul 15, 2009: "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"." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jun 28, 2009: "My name is Heather Lynn and I would have to say that I love it! Oh yeah I am blond!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left May 29, 2009: "I hate it. I've even had 3 other Heathers in one class. It's the same name as the weeds that were once groing outside my house. It's bad enough to be a natural blonde and listen to dumb blonde jokes when your name is associated with either prepy high school girls or stripper names. I didn't just get called Heffer, somone dared to call me Hefner!My middle name is Grace and I have no problem with that, but I lucked out, my parent's were actually considering calling me Almond. They would've called me nuts. Or even worse: Jessica, there were also 3 Jessicas in one class." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left May 23, 2009: "I love my name! It just rolls off my tongue. My middle name is nicole and my parents probably could have done better I still love it! Oh and I was born in 1994" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Apr 22, 2009: "My name is Sommer. For as long as I can remember people have called me Heather. I've even been called Heather by people that I've worked with for years. I think it's very strange, but interesting. I guess I must look like a Heather." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Apr 12, 2009: "To the person who thinks she is the only Heather Patricia. Wrong I am also a Heather Patricia and also love my name" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Apr 10, 2009: "Im called Heather, and I cant decide whether i like it or not.... Its my mum's maiden name. I think my main issue with the name it that it cant be shortened to anything, or have a nickname I can use. all of my nicknames are embarrassing and only used by family. 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..." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Mar 13, 2009: "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." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Feb 22, 2009: "My names is Heather Patricia<3 and i adore it... I have NEVER met another Heather Patricia or heard of one. I am a natural dirty blond but I have dyed my hair so much i can't even remember the shade ha! But Heather is a beautiful name and any other heathers out there are lucky to have it !!!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Dec 12, 2008: "my name is heather and i love my name! i use to hate it because it sounded to "soft" and "pretty." but i love it now. i have not met that many people with my name. everyone always told me how pretty my name is. and i am not blond! i have brown hair." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Dec 04, 2008: "I was born in 1981 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." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Nov 29, 2008: "I'm Heather! And it is a great name. But i do think most people think there name is great! Growing up people called me Heather Feather. But I begcame a preschool teacher and some of the children couldn't say my name and called me Feather. and long story short Feath became my nickname and i love it. Great name, every HEather I met is great!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Nov 22, 2008: "Hi, my name is Heather and I hate the fact that every Heather I meet has blond,I have black hair." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Oct 25, 2008: "My name is Heather Julliette... I think it is very unique, both the first and middle.. A flower! How Beautiful! Growing up I found it was somewhat common.. Nowadays its pretty rare that I run into one.. As for Julliette, Was named after my Grandmother, though her name was spelled Juliette.. Never have come across another.. I love my name!"

Comment left May 17, 2008: "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 1968, 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 1969, 1971, and 1977 respectively). After Linda McCartney's death from cancer in 1998, Macca met Mucca in 1999 (Mucca too was married once before but divorced) and they were married in 2002 before daughter Beatrice Milly (after Macca's aunt Milly and Mucca's late mother Beatrice) was born in 2003. It was the break-up Macca and Mucca's marriage in 2006 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)."
