I’ve recently fallen in love with this name and pilsner love to hear what people think about it as well as middle name options.

I am wondering if it gives off an old lady vibe which I’ve been told by some people that it does!

I am a Sophie Harriet and in my mid 40s so think my mum was a bit before my time as there were few Sophie’s when I was growing up and fewer Harriet’s. I thought it was a bit weird growing up but now absolutely love it! Go for it. Is very pretty. I also love Tabitha and Tallulah.

Love Hattie

ZebraKid71 · 23/04/2019 20:18

I really like it, it is on my list for this baby, but it is sooo popular in my area at the moment that I know I will never use it.

Love it. Especially Harriet Grace. I know a Harriet and a Hattie both are lovely girls. Also a Harry if she turns out to be a bit of a tomboy

Lovely name

CaitlinsYellowSocks · 23/04/2019 19:24

I love it and both those middle name combinations are great. Classic, pretty, recognisable without being ubiquitous, and good nicknames.

I like Harriet, love Harri or Hattie as nicknames. Personally though I could never choose a name that ends in a 'T' as I always drop them and I think most people do in my accent.

SallyWD · 23/04/2019 18:32

It's nice. Always sounds quite well to do to me.

fulltimeworkingmotherof4 · 23/04/2019 16:51

My 17yr old is called this it was very unusual then, seems to be more popular now but I still love the name, we call her Harri

Octonuddle · 23/04/2019 16:39

I love it...potential contender if I have another DD!

Megan2018 · 23/04/2019 16:32

It’s on my list but DH says no Sad
I love it.

SnakesBarmitzvah · 23/04/2019 16:29

I love it, I think its gorgeous! When I have mentioned it to friends though they have looked at me funny.

RuthW · 23/04/2019 16:22

Love it. Certainly not old fashioned and was popular when my daughter was small.

Happyandglorious · 23/04/2019 16:16

Harriet Grace. Sounds fab

starryskies4 · 23/04/2019 15:56

I love it. I know a couple of little Harriet's and it really suits them. A pretty name imo.

MollyHuaCha · 23/04/2019 15:54

Love it.

Carpetburns · 23/04/2019 15:53

Love!

Mustangsallyis · 23/04/2019 15:52

Harriet was top of my list for a girl but I had a boy. I think it's a lovely name.

Tiramisu1 · 23/04/2019 15:47

I dislike Harriet, it sounds harsh!

MamaDane · 23/04/2019 15:18

Don't like it personally Smile but if you do then that's all that matters.

recall · 23/04/2019 15:17

Love it

BlueMerchant · 23/04/2019 15:15

Not keen and getting back bit too popular.

PlatypusLeague · 23/04/2019 15:14

I quite like it. Harriet Sophie is very nice.

Pleasegotosleep01 · 23/04/2019 13:21

Completely biased but I have a Harriet Grace! We call her Hattie.

formerbabe · 23/04/2019 13:19

Frumpy imo.
