Re: Thoughts on Hattie?
in reply to a message by Edie
I did know it was considered a nn for Harriet, I did not know the first female elected to the Senate was from Arkansas. My state is cooler than I thought.
Moving on....
I like Hattie soooo much more than I like Harriet. Alas, it still sounds like pet name no matter what you do with it. Seems very appropriate for a poodle yet not quite right for a human over 10 or under 55. It does have some serious grandma appeal. Other than that, it's kind of nice, but not something I would be enthused about.

Hi Priscilla,
I didn't realize you were in Arkansas. I live in Mountain View.
Hattie Caraway was from Jonesboro. She was appointed to finish her husband's Senate term after he died, and then she was re-elected later.
I lived in Jonesboro for a couple of years during graduate school. I worked at the Jonesboro Sun, and the P.O. issued a stamp with her on it while I was living over there so that's why I know about it.
