Re: Hattie, Lucy and Mabel
in reply to a message by Mareasi
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.
