Harriet and Maeve.

Just interested in how they’re thought of generally speaking.

Harriet is awful. Doesn't sound feminine imo and hate the twee nickname it comes with. Maeve is ok. Not a massive fan but loads better than Harriet

Harriet is ok if a little dull.
Many Maeves being born atm. I dislike it. Sounds like an ugly shortening of Mavis.

I love Maeve.

Oh I’ve always liked Harriet. Hattie is so sweet and Harriet is so grown up and strong sounding.
I don’t like Maeve … but I do like Maude!

Harriet is fine, far from my favourite feminised names, but nothing objectively wrong with it. It's been moderately popular for a while now. Maeve is absolutely skyrocketing in popularity in England and Wales. Personally, I don't like the name Maeve either, but again, there's nothing objectively bad about it.

Really not a fan of Harriet and I dislike Hattie as a name or nickname. I like Maeve but much prefer Maeva.

Yes to Maude!!!

Is Maeve pronounced 'Mayva' as in Made in Chelsea French girl?

Haven't got my glasses on and I thought it said Harriet and Maude.
So, I think you should stick with that as I prefer Harriet and Maude! (Meave is fine too 😉)
