HelpRe: Harriet
in reply to a message by Ludwig
Do you mean like using the pronoun "she" or like the way we sometimes come up with like, little characters for the name? Like saying "oh I could see her wearing this colour and living here"? I know I do that a lot.
I watch this show about wedding dresses and sometimes they refer to the dresses as "she" and it totally grosses me OUT so I know what you're saying here I think.
I like Hattie a lot more than Harriet actually? And would probably use it unapologetically but would have to fight for it with most people who think it is stupid. Hattie is really saucy and I like the energy of the name more; Harriet is pretty snobby and uptight, I mean, comparatively, to other names?
I FEEL REALLY WEIRD LIKE YOU ARE DISGUSTED WITH US ALL AND LIKE I NEED TO DEFEND MYSELF I DON'T KNOW AAAUUUGHH

I know it sounded weirdly accusatory! Unfortunately that's how my mind works. I level the same amount of accusatoriness towards myself - that's why it comes out, I think, particularly on the internet. I need to learn to temper it.
I think part of it was because I was trying to inhabit a pro-Harriet mindset, though - but in a way that would work in harmony with my anti-Hattiness. Also, I luxuriate in a nice barbed rebuttal to a nice barbed provocation. So, thanks. lolol

for whatever it's worth...
While I understand what Emma says about there being a certain expectation among "namists" to like certain names, like Harriet, just because they are classic and not used much and whatnot...
I don't have any problem saying that I don't like the name, and I don't really feel the pressure to like the name myself. Then again, I don't really consider myself a namist or a name-nerd.
