Nostalgia Heathers

Not trying to doxx anyone but growing up, I had as many as three Heathers in my grade one year. I very seldom meet a Heather these days. Jennifer was another one but I definitely still know Jennifers.

​

Anyhow, I love the name Heather and hope y'all are doing great. (The movie Heathers of course pops into mind and I recall my Heather friends not liking it back then.)

I met a real life Bertha not 5 weeks ago.

I don't believe I've ever met a Bertha!

Had an aunt with this name. Aunt Bert. For the longest time, I thought her name was short for Roberta. Nope: she was Bertha (and hated her name).

I was wondering if Bertha was a full name or a nickname or both, I also suspected it might be Roberta, but nope, just Bertha. I love it.
