there was a place called Broadheath near where I used to live.

I like Heathcote and Beckford for a boy, and Heatherlie for a girl!

These are fun!! I love all the [name_u]Beck[/name_u] ones, I’m a sucker for [name_u]Beck[/name_u] as a nickname (or full name!). Maplebeck could be such a fun middle, I love the gentle imagery <3 Torbeck is cool too, it reminds me of [name_m]Torben[/name_m]!

Heatherlie looks like Heather-lee. It’s so cute.

I’d use Rosenbeck as a first for a boy and a middle for a girl.

Ellerbeck looks like one of my made up names (which I posted on the invented name of the day thread). Sadly Ellerbeck is better :smiling_face_with_tear:

Depends. I think some of these would fly in Europe but not the USA. Maybe someone who lives in [name_u]Germany[/name_u] or [name_f]Austria[/name_f] could weigh in lol

I think Torbeck and Heatherstone have the most potential in the US. The problem with most of them is they sound almost like a more common name that they’d likely always get mistaken for i.e. Beckenried as Breckenreid.

Heatherly seem the most “given name-y” to me! Being nature word + ly ending, I think Heatherly would fit right in in US classrooms. Norbeck, Torbeck, and Trebeck also feel like they could work. I could totally imagine a little Trebeck named after Jeopardy host [name_u]Alex[/name_u] Trebek.

And honestly I can see Heathrow working in the US too – international place names and “travel” names are pretty popular. I’ve actually met a Dulles (which is an American airport).

Heathwood I think would work too. For a moment I thought “like the [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_u]Austen[/name_u] character,” then realized he’s [name_m]Heathcliff[/name_m] :sweat_smile: But I think Heathwood has a cool literary vibe nonetheless!
