DD1 is Hats or Hatsy

Ruler of the house, I like that. The Harriet I know is a younger sister biding her time.

Jemima is a duck or a rag doll, it's not a grown up name.

HalfSpamHalfBrisket · 07/06/2013 17:42

Love both but especially love little Hats and Hatties

Er, I love it so much I posted twice.

Jemima. Love it.

GwendolineMaryLacey · 07/06/2013 17:10

They're not wrong

Harriet - I know two, they are both amazing. One is Hattie, one Harry.

Be warned it means ruler of the house.

And because Jemimia will always be a puddelduck to me

ToTiredToBeWitty · 07/06/2013 16:08

Harriet because of Hattie

Christabel3 · 07/06/2013 15:52

I like Jemima but the EYE sound in the middle makes me like it a bit less. NOt at all keen on Harriet. Juliet seems like it has a flavour of both and I suggest that!

CruCru · 07/06/2013 15:19

Both are awesome.

MelanieCheeks · 07/06/2013 15:01

Well, I have a Jemima so I'm totally biased!

StellaNova · 07/06/2013 15:01

Harriet

prolificnamechanger · 07/06/2013 15:00

Jemima. Love it.

Tough one, they're both beautiful. I think I have the teensiest preference for Harriet but you can't go wrong with either.

Turniptwirl · 07/06/2013 14:27

Definitely harriett

Slothlorien · 07/06/2013 12:42

Both gorgeous. But I think I prefer Harriet. Just a bit more grown up for the future. And when a little girl she can be Hattie.

GwendolineMaryLacey · 07/06/2013 12:38

Harriet

Ham69 · 07/06/2013 12:35

I love both but I think Harriet has the slight edge for me.

bootsycollins · 07/06/2013 12:32

Jemima Smile
