Charlotte - Nice, this is my favourite from you list (Lotty is a pretty nn)
Delilah - The song, people would sing you the song and it would drive you nuts.
Harriet - Ok
Jemima - The doll from the 1970s kid's TV show Playschool. How about Jenna?
Tabitha - Ok

I love them all, Charlotte I probably wouldn't use even tho I love it, purely due to princess Charlotte increasing popularity.

I love Harriet, I picture a really cute cheeky girl with that name xx

ScarletSienna · 29/05/2017 23:07

Tshirts is my favourite even though it makes me think of cats (or maybe because of this!).

I wouldn't use Jemima because of the connotations it has in the US.

Charlotte
Harriet
Jemima
Tabitha
Delilah

BewareOfDragons · 29/05/2017 23:04

Charlotte is the only name I like on your list, but even that is just too popular. Plus the royal family has used it for their 2 year old, so I wouldn't use it on principle.

Delilah

Pemba · 29/05/2017 17:40

All nice names, I would rank like this:

Delilah - some may say it's a bit full-on, but it's lovely, such a musical sound. You could also have Lilah for short.
Charlotte - pretty, classic name. Probably quite a lot around though.
Harriet. Yup, it's nice. Don't know why I like this, but hate Henrietta.
Jemima. Pretty name. Apparently has unfortunate associations in the US, but not for us, so who cares I suppose.
Tabitha Attractive sounding name, but I keep thinking of the cat Mrs Tabitha Twitchet from Beatrix Potter.

BendydickCuminsnatch · 29/05/2017 17:30

Love seeing my name on threads - half of people love it, half hate it! Apparently it's 'dull and worthy' Grin That sounds like something I would say, so fair play.

I quite like all of them OP, my order would be:

Jemima (1st by far)
Harriet
Charlotte
Tabitha
Delilah

TempsPerdu · 29/05/2017 17:27

Tabitha
Delilah
Harriet
Jemima
Charlotte

Not really keen on any of them apart from Tabitha.

daisypond · 29/05/2017 12:14

I'm not keen on any of them, so maybe I shouldn't give an opinion.
Tabitha - joint top, though it does make me think of a tabby cat.
Jemima - joint top, though I see this as a doll's name, goodness knows why.
Delilah - Not too keen. Tom Jones song, and an unappealing character from the Bible, though Lila is nice.
Harriet - dull and worthy.
Charlotte - dislike.

blahthisistoohard · 29/05/2017 11:58

Delilah (nn Lila?)
Harriet

Jemima
Tabitha
Charlotte (only because too popular)

17caterpillars1mouse · 29/05/2017 10:15

Harriet is my favourite because it can shorten to Hattie

Charlotte
Jemima
Tabitha
Delilah
