Due our second dd soon and stuck between Alice and Harriet, out first dd is called Emily. We will probably wait and see which she suits but would like opinions please?

I prefer Alice and it flows better with Emily. Harriet will definitely get shortened to Harri.

Alice
Harriet will become Harry

Alice

Harriet.

AdaColeman · 04/10/2020 12:34

Both lovely, but Alice is my favourite.

Littlepoppet1 · 04/10/2020 12:33

A vote for Harriet here!

CherryBlossomTree7 · 04/10/2020 12:32

Neither are my cup of tea.

But Alice is nicer than Harriet. Harriet is quite an ugly name IMO.

Alice is a nicer sounding and a name that I don't think will date.

Alice is lovely.

Harriet is a bit "braying toff" and Hattie isn't a pretty nickname.

LemonandLavender · 04/10/2020 12:12

Definitely Harriet.

ThaliaLuxurySpa · 04/10/2020 12:11

Alice.
(Emily's one of my favourites, btw! Good choice made for DD no1)

I love both names (helpful).

I tend to think of Alice as a very beautiful, tall slim girl with long dark hair, don't know why. 🤷🏼‍♀️

And Hattie (I prefer the nn to the actual name) is a sporty, quite tomboyish girl who has a great sense of humour and is full of fun.

I realise thats not helpful AT ALL!! sorry!
