Polly is lovely.
Heidi awful.
Like Hattie but not Harriet.
Rosa is nice .

All four names are sweet.
It depends on the second name/family name and the surname as to whether I like one more than the other.

Polly - casual, uncommon but well known and Mary related.
Heidi - European, familiar but not over popular, vibrant.
Harriet - traditional, cute nick names, womanly.
Rosa - beautiful, under used, Italian flavour, simple.

Polly
Harriet
Rosa

Dislike Heidi

CallieQ · 17/04/2023 00:47

Rosa definitely

JupiterFortified · 17/04/2023 00:43

Heidi. Absolutely love this.
Then Rosa. Then Harriet.
Not keen on Polly at all.

In that order.

I love Harriet, Polly and Rosa.

I can't stand Heidi.

worryingalot · 16/04/2023 23:52

Actually I’d pick Harriet then Rosa

xprincessxjanetx · 16/04/2023 23:51

Favourite is Heidi

Least favourite is Polly

worryingalot · 16/04/2023 23:50

Rosa - love it
Harriet - love it because of awesome people I’ve met with the name, and nn Hattie
then Heidi
then Polly (know the most irritating person with this name so I may be swayed by this)

LulooLemon · 16/04/2023 23:46

Rosa - favourite

Polly - least (reminds me of a parrot)

AuntieSoap · 16/04/2023 23:41

Polly is lovely!

pippapipps · 16/04/2023 23:39

Favourite is Heidi.. thought of this name myself but didn't use in the end
Least favourite is Harriet .. sorry I think it's awful

TobiasForgesContactLense · 16/04/2023 23:35

Rosa! DS would have been Rosa if he had been a girl. Then Heidi, Harriet then Polly

PMAmostofthetime · 16/04/2023 23:29

Heidi

Hillcrest2022 · 16/04/2023 23:04

They're all really pretty but I do love Harriet and Hattie for short !

Hohofortherobbers · 16/04/2023 23:04

Polly

Gruf · 16/04/2023 23:02

Rosa

Kanaloa · 16/04/2023 23:01

Definitely Harriet. I’ve only met one, a girl of about 4/5. Rosa is ok. I’m not keen on Polly or Heidi. Polly just makes me think of parrots or Polly put the kettle on, and although I want to like Heidi, in my head it just keeps sounding like ‘hidey ho.’

Ywudu · 16/04/2023 23:00

Rosa is the only one I like
Harriet is ok but popular

Pocketfullofdogtreats · 16/04/2023 22:54

Rosa. It's different. Have never liked Polly. The others aren't offensive but I'm just not keen.

fairycupcakes · 16/04/2023 22:50

1 - Polly
2 - Rosa
3 - Harriet
4 - Heidi

finished31 · 16/04/2023 22:50

Heidi 1st
Harriet
Polly/Rosa last - not a fan of Rose either.

GreenMarigold · 16/04/2023 22:48

Polly, then Rosa, then Harriet
