Hattie is predominantly a female name in the United States, and has declined in use since the 1950s. There are approximately 15,000 people named Hattie in the US today.
The name Hattie's root letters are HT.
Most names beginning with the hushed and harmless intimations of the letter H make us think of a well-rounded personality with very few hard edges. But the triumphant tones of the letter T, on the other hand, are rife with implications of self-assurance and outspoken confidence, and is why the words hot, heart and heat are so reliant on the T to convey their passionate significance. These are people who speak softly and carry a big stick of self-confidence.
Hatties seem to cruise through life with enviable ease, and meeting someone as confident as them, can leave some people feeling a little insecure. In fact, if you’ve ever tried to befriend one of these cool-headed individuals, you’ll know that it takes quite a bit of effort to get past their reserved exteriors. It’s not that they’re overly introverted; it’s just that they prefer to maintain a low emotional profile until the other person has been proven to be worthy of their friendship. So though they’re unfailingly polite and considerate, their socially cautious attitudes give them reputations for standoffishness and keep many at bay.
Hatties are inveterate measurers (in their relationships as well as in their careers), and carefully calculate the pros and cons of every decision. When they meet potential mates, it’s difficult for them to simply go with the situation’s emotional flow and they can’t help second-guessing whether their partners are tall enough, rich enough or beautiful enough. Perhaps this is why so many people think that Hatties are judgmental, but it really comes down to the fact that they are far more critical of themselves than are of anyone else.
When it comes to their careers, Hatties integrate easily into the workplace and will obligingly accept the authority of their leaders. But these are proud people who, unless they believe their contributions are being appreciated, will quickly fall into rebellion and seek more creative pastures. This combination of a quiet exterior and an unyielding core might seem a little passive-aggressive, but it seems to work perfectly well for the Hatties.
Hatties have plenty of spunk when it comes to their intimate relationships, and even though they will dutifully play the role of supportively loving mates, they’re not going to be satisfied with just going through the motions. They’re always the first to initiate new ways of romancing and making sure that vacations are regular and exciting. Encouraging and positive, they are never happy until their loved ones are equally content.
