I love it but we have one in our small-ish family already so can't use it Sad

burgatroyd · 07/11/2014 21:39

stopbarking I see what you mean!

Yes, don't understand why there's a surge of popularity fot this name.

clairemarie5 · 07/11/2014 20:05

My nanna's name Smile cute.. Harry would a pretty cool nickname for a girl too I think.

halfdrunkcoffee · 05/11/2014 16:59

I love Harriet (reminds me of Harriet the Spy) but have only met one baby Harriet.

Madamecastafiore · 05/11/2014 16:56

My Harriet is 14.

She is lovely (sometimes).

I've never had anything but positive comments about her name.

DS and DD2 call her Hat (DD is 11 months so it's v v cute), no one else dare call her anything but Harriet as she totally ignores you!!

MrsMarigold · 05/11/2014 16:53

I have a Harriet - we always thought we would call her Harri but she is Hattie or Hatley or Hatlington and I love it - we know four others - two adults and two children apart from Harriet Harman.

neverenoughwine · 05/11/2014 16:46

Love it and adore Etti or Harry as an nn x

DecaffTastesWeird · 05/11/2014 16:11

I love Harriet.

lebkuchenlover · 05/11/2014 15:59

Hairy toilet Grin Shock!

I agree that Juliet, Violet or Annette are much nicer than Harriet.

StopBarking · 04/11/2014 18:01

Same here. It honestly reminds me of hairy toilet. A cross between the two.

What about Juliet
Similar style but a nicer sound

squoosh · 04/11/2014 10:34

I think it's such an ugly name. Its current popularity truly baffles me.

Sorry.

lebkuchenlover · 04/11/2014 08:38

I find it rather harsh and unfeminine sounding, sorry.

SoftSheen · 04/11/2014 08:32

Great name. No need for abbreviation- beautiful as it is.

IAmAPaleontologist · 04/11/2014 08:26

beautiful

TheGirlAtTheRockShow · 04/11/2014 08:25

Love it. Is friends DD and she is gorgeous. Love nn Hattie.

SnoringNorma · 04/11/2014 02:55

I love it... as long as your surname isn't Abun!

Riverland · 04/11/2014 02:00

Harri or Ettie are great nn's.

SurfsUp1 · 04/11/2014 01:48

It's one of our top contenders for DD due in March.

I think it's a lovely name but it really has to go with your surname.

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 04/11/2014 00:48

Beautiful elegant and pretty name. Love Hattie as well.
Congratulations btw.

Ye110w · 03/11/2014 22:57

I think it's a very unattractive sound.

SurfsUp1 · 03/11/2014 22:48

BlueStar could you go for Harry as a nn? Boys names as nn for girls seems to be quite popular and can be rather cute.

PragmaticWench · 03/11/2014 22:34

DS is two weeks old but would have been Harriet if he'd been a DD. Love it.

LemonBreeland · 03/11/2014 22:30

I'm not crazy about Harriet but I love the nn Hattie.

MsKittyKat123 · 03/11/2014 22:24

I love the name Harriet and adore the nn Hattie even more ??
