My daughter, Emma, started at a new school this week. Her new "best friend" is named Riley Heatherette. I asked Riley's mom about the middle name, and she said it was after Rileys grandma Heather. What do you think of the name Heatherette??? My moms name is Heather also and I was just wondering how you felt about this name honoring the name of Heather.

MAYBE as a middle name but I don't care for it as a first name.

I'm sorry, but .... ewwwww! It just sounds really odd to my ear. Sounds like "a little piece of the big Heather". I agree with the pp ... why not just Heather?

LOL. Heatherette is the name of a really quirky urban fashion label, by designers Travers Rains and Richie Rich. I think they may have a cosmetics line, too.

Sounds really weird to me. I agree with the PP- what's wrong with just using Heather??

That's what I hear, too...like, you're not a full Heather...you're just a Heatherette. I wonder if Microheather or Heatherteer was on the list...
