Harriet/Hattie a million times nicer than Megan. I wanted it for dd2 but dp wouldn't let me.

Megan is awful! Go with Harriet or Hattie!

Smeggy Meggy - I used to have a dog called Meg - much fun had by teenager and her friends.

Go for Harriet.

Harriet is fantastic, OP and so is Henry! Do not like Megan at all.

Megan is much nicer than Harriet - it's a flowing, gentle sort of name, whereas Harriet is harsher.

Harriet is much nicer than Megan IMO.

Are you pg? I think that is, perversely, the worst time ever to be choosing baby names. I'm 28 weeks and am now mulling over names that I have loathed for years and wondering whether the nice name DH and I chose 4 years ago is really a bit rubbish. Bonkers.

In a minority but I much prefer Megan to Harriet. Harriet is a very hard name. Hattie is cute but so is Meg.

Henry is lovely.

I like Meg (as in Little Women) but not Megan, so would choose Harriet!

I don't like Megan and I loathe Meg, it's just got this laziness about it. Sorry but when I hear of kids just being called Meg the first thing I think of is the kid's parents couldn't be bothered thinking of a longer name? Maybe I'm OCD but for me names should contain 4 or more letters.

Megan over Harriet definitely. Much prettier, especially Meg.

Harriet is a battleaxe name.

You have to see what she looks like, if she is actually a she!

I prefer Harriet out of the two girls names and Henry is lovely too,

Harriet is far too masculine sounding for me, but don't go mad on Megan either...

I have a Meg. So I am lazy and she is a chicken dog Grin

I love Harriett and it was also on 'my list' as was Alice.

You know, OP, you don't actually have to choose a name til about 6 weeks after they are here, so you could wait til you meet them before you decide.
