Is this name hard to pronounce or hear?

[rollo]

It is a good choice! (There is an outside chance that people will hear Keith.)

No problems here! Then again, I know a Heath and he has no problems with it, so perhaps that's why.

My dad's name is Heath, and I can tell you this from experience: it isn't a very "forceful" name. My grandmother has said she always had to yell his full name to get his attention, and it is still that way. Because of that, my mom and my parents' friends almost always call him by his last name. Yell Heath out loud, and then yell Blake and Grant. Yes, Heath goes great with Blake and Grant, but it doesn't have the same force, does it?

I was thinking the exact same thing. Initially, I thought "Oh, like Heath Ledger; that's not difficult to say at all." But when I started saying it just by itself, it seems to sort of get lost. I'm sorry to say it because it's a lovely name, but I agree that it just doesn't have the same "oomph" as Blake and Grant. (Sorry I can't think of a better word that "oomph"; it's late here.)

Nope.

I use to live on Heath Street; Watch my grandfather eat Heath Bar candy; and Watch Heath Ledger movies. So the name is very familiar to me, not hard to say, yet, as a pp noted, it may be confused with Keith, especially if they are not paying attention.

I love Heath! Use it!

I really like the name! It's a fairly common word in the UK,used to refer to areas of green open space historically,so places still bear the name. So I don't find it hard to hear or say.
I don't think it lacks force in comparison to Blake and Grant,but maybe that's my accent.

I have always loved Heath!!!

I think it's a great name, familiar and easy to pronounce, but now I think about it I do see your point with it being a bit hard to hear at first. My dad's name is Ethan and it's surprisingly similar to Heath; I remember my mom calling for my dad and nobody hearing it until she got to the "an" part. So I can see your concern there. I still think Heath a great name but if it bothers you that Heath doesn't pack a punch as much as Blake and Grant, how about...
