It’s been ages since I posted a topic here! Hi :wave:

My name style is all over the place at the moment (when is it not) but I’ve been fixated on the name Heather. I really like her, the colour, the connection to nature, the retro vibes, everything. Unfortunately we are fairly close with a Heather so I’m unsure how usable it would be for us.

Anyway, I wanted to get some more ideas from you guys based on Heather. What names give you similar vibes? Throw me anything! Whatever comes to mind for you.

Some other names I like that feel similar (to me at least):
Kathleen - retro vibes (+ great nickname options)
Robin - love the nature connection, we like this for a girl though it tends to lean more masc in the UK, but I kinda like that it’s gender neutral anyway

Thank you! :blossom:

[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] was first to come to mind, purely as another H- nature name.

[name_f]Heather[/name_f] is earthy and very 90s/early 2000s for me so I think of [name_f]Ember[/name_f] first.

Maybe also:

[name_f]Trista[/name_f]
[name_f]Nellie[/name_f]
[name_f]Michelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Portia[/name_f]

I love Heather too, some seem it as dated but I think it fits in with the nature trend and the 1950-1980s naming styles just coming back in! Anyway, I’ve just liked the name since I was little.

Hopefully you can use it one day, otherwise how about:

[name_f]Calluna[/name_f] - one of the scientific names for [name_f]Heather[/name_f] plant
[name_f]Erika[/name_f]- Apparently a heather name
Heidi-Ditto same
Heathrow- a variation if the airport isn’t too much of a hang up for you.

I think [name_m]Robin[/name_m] is the perfect counter part to [name_f]Heather[/name_f]!
Seconding [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] and [name_f]Meredith[/name_f] for similar vibes.
[name_f]Trista[/name_f] is an intriguing option, or [name_m]Tristan[/name_m] if you want more gender neutral like [name_m]Robin[/name_m].

What would you think about
[name_f]Twila[/name_f]
[name_f]Carmen[/name_f]
[name_f]Cecile[/name_f]
[name_f]Yvette[/name_f]
[name_f]Elise[/name_f]
[name_f]Sasha[/name_f]
[name_f]Nina[/name_f]
[name_f]Viola[/name_f]
[name_f]Rilla[/name_f]
[name_f]Melody[/name_f]
[name_f]Joanna[/name_f]
[name_f]Rhea[/name_f]
[name_f]Nadine[/name_f]
[name_m]Gale[/name_m] | [name_f]Gail[/name_f]

Also seconding @AmyVermeersch suggestions of Stephanie and Jennifer.

If I think of Heather in an 80s / 90s way, these are the names that come to mind as similar.

If I try to think of it objectively as a nature name, Hazel is what comes to mind as similar.

It would be nice if Heather could shake off the former context and have a revival as the latter, which I guess will only come from modern use.
