Girls’ names - sister for Harriet

62 replies

BananaBlaps · 07/05/2018 06:52

Only 9 weeks pregnant, but if I like these names...what else might I like. I know it might be a boy but focussing on girls for now!

Middle name would be Rosemary.

  • Connie (I’m not overly keen on Constance but also wouldn’t really want to put a nickname as her full name on birth certificate). But I love Connie.
  • Tabitha (too much?)
  • Abigail (just really like Abi as a nn)
  • Anna (love it - DH says no)
  • Clara
  • Flora (love it - apart from the spread connotations!)
  • Vivienne
  • Catherine (DH likes - I’m a bit meh about it)

So, thoughts on the above please and any more to add?

Thanks!

The Harriets I know have sisters named Emily, Judith, Miriam and Verity.

Although I think Martha and Matilda are names that go brilliantly with Harriet, I'd avoid using either as sibling names because of the risk of ending up with daughters named Hattie and Mattie...

Alice, Eliza, Imogen, Eleanor and Charlotte would work with Harriet and with Rosemary but Constance is lovely too.

I don’t like nicknames as full names AT ALL, so I’d vote no on Connie unless she’s Constance. Catherine is classic but a bit bland. My favourites would be the so cute Flora or very elegant Vivienne.

From your list and others you've mentioned in the thread, I like:

  • Anna
  • Clara
  • Vivienne
  • Genevieve

I second Jessica mentioned above sounding good with Harriet too, and also add Megan as a suggestion (sorry if it's been mentioned already)

DieselOilAndAnger · 09/05/2018 22:20

I know sisters Harriet and Jessica which I think go so well together. They are also both lovely people which helps!

Buntysoven · 07/05/2018 22:43

The Harriet who is friends with DD has older sisters Olive and Molly.

neversleepagain · 07/05/2018 21:27

I have twin girls I really wanted Harriet and Georgina (DP didn't like Harriet). I think Georgina sounds lovely with Harriet.

I also liked
Madeleine
Eleanor
Sophia

HollyHunter18 · 07/05/2018 21:24

Annabel Rosemary

HappyHedgehog247 · 07/05/2018 21:22

*Jilly that should have been

HappyHedgehog247 · 07/05/2018 21:20

Imogen and look at Jill's Cooper's other titles too!

pilates · 07/05/2018 21:19

Jessica
Eliza
Imogen

SoftSheen · 07/05/2018 21:08

What about Talitha (Tally)?

I also love Clara and Anna. Either go well with Harriet, IMO.

nikkil123 · 07/05/2018 21:04

Willow
Sienna
Scarlett

They were the ones i had lined up until we found out bump is a boy!

cherrytrees123 · 07/05/2018 19:56

Vivienne Juliet would be my pick

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 07/05/2018 19:55

Samantha is a great name.

What about:
Letitia
Marion
Valentina
Luciana
Louisa
Frances

auntyflonono · 07/05/2018 19:51

Leonora
Octavia

Enko · 07/05/2018 18:15

What about Bonnie or Lonnie if you don't want Connie as it sounds like a " nickname?"

Littlemum2be86 · 07/05/2018 17:50

My sisters name is Connie and that’s her full name on her birth certificate. I don’t think it needs to be Constance - Connie is a name in its own right. I think it’s beautiful and I’ve never met another. She is always getting compliments on her name.

Great choice OP 😊

Aylarose · 07/05/2018 17:44

Clara/Cara and Anna are pretty. Matilda would be nice as 'Tilly and Hattie' go together (if you use Hattie). Juliette would have a similar rhythm to Harriet. Georgina might go.

Connie is nice, I don't like Constance.

daisypond · 07/05/2018 17:23

Samantha doesn't seem to fit very well with Harriet, in my opinion. Tabitha, Martha and Abigail all seem to have a similar vibe to Harriet.
Of if you you go back to 18th, early 19th century times when Harriet was a rather genteel name, you could look at some Jane Austen-type names, which have some nice diminutives.
Frances
Cassandra
Elizabeth
Georgiana, etc.

AnyaMoondial · 07/05/2018 16:57

Eliza

Also like Samantha

chezmk1988 · 07/05/2018 16:37

I like Vivienne the best and it's on my list but I think Connie goes best with Rosemary
