Did you know?
- Because the letter 'h' is silent in French, a speaker might instinctively omit the starting sound of Hattie, pronouncing it more like 'Attie'.
- French speakers may associate the sound of Hattie with the word hâte, which means 'haste' or 'hurry', as in the common phrase avoir hâte.
- If a French person sees the name written, they might mistake it for the word hâtive, which describes someone who is 'hasty' or 'rash'.
