[Opinions] Re: Hattie, Lucy and Mabel
I don't like Hattie, and even if I did, I despise nicknames as full names.Lucy. I love it and although it can be used as a nickname for Lucille, unlike Hattie, it is a legitimate full name in its own right. However, it has been on the rise in the US for a while and is currently #62. It's popular in the UK, #28, so I don't think that what you say about not hearing it all that often on newborns in accurate.Mabel. I love it. This is just starting to come back in the US, and is making a stronger comeback in the UK.

Thanks for your comments.It's interesting how names can be popular in the charts but you never come across the name on babies irl. I've not seen one birth announcement in my local area for Lucy. Though they all seem to be Lily's, Grace's, Ava's and Isla'a
