What do you reckon? Which is nicer? Or could Harriet Verity be a possibility...

Harriet, I just don't like Verity sorry and I know a stunning and annoyingly clever Harriet.

ProlificWillyBreeder · 13/02/2013 16:10

Only annoying as I wish I was that clever!

I prefer Harriet.

I don't like Harriet Verity. It's too 'arri erri'.
Now I have shown myself to be a bit weird there you can safely ignore me.

Harriet

Allalonenow · 14/02/2013 20:02

Verity without a doubt.

MrsWeasley · 14/02/2013 20:06

Harriet is a beautiful name

moonblues · 14/02/2013 20:13

Harriet & you could have Harry or Hal as a nickname

My Grandma was Harriet so I'm biased! SHe was Harty to everyone she knew tho.

Harriet Smile

My first dolly was called Harriet. So Harriet.

I do like verity but names like that (faith, hope etc) are potentially setting a child up to fail. What if verity is a compulsive liar?

Emilythornesbff · 14/02/2013 20:25

Both lovely.
Harriet wins for me I think but lends on surname.

Another vote for Harriet. Verity is a nice name but Harriet pips it.

Umlauf · 15/02/2013 09:06

My first doll was also a Harriet! Lovely, clever name. Could be Harrie/Hattie as nn.
