Middle name for Harriet Jones... help!

All,
Any suggestions for a middle name for our little girl?

I love Harriet Grace but I'm a little worried Harriet Grace Jones is too close to the 80s singer.... any other ideas or comments on this much appreciated.

Sounds nice. I don't think many of her generation will make the Grace Jones connection. Go for it!

ChunkyPickle · 22/02/2012 10:04

I don't know, but I do know that that is a beautifully flowing name!

I'm rubbish at thinking of names - I think that 1 syllable is probably the way to go so you can keep that flow - something like Harriet Jane Jones (depending on how you feel about aliteration/the name Jane)

Wasn't Harriet Jones MP, in Dr Who? I think of that rather than Grace Jones.
Think Grace is fine.

Yes, I think of Doctor Who rather than of Grace Jones.

maddiemostmerry · 22/02/2012 10:26

I wouldn't let it put you off though. Her peers won't think it. Grin

Harriet Louisa Jones

Something beginning with an 'S' , ending in 'a' and with 3 syllables - Serena, Selina, Susanna [can't think of any more Grin].

pickledsiblings · 22/02/2012 10:34

x post Popcorn, we picked the same one - Serena.

sparkle12mar08 · 22/02/2012 10:37

I also think Dr Who! I also agree with others who've said a single or three syllable name fits best. Harriet Kate or Harriet Victoria are lovely?

TessTosterone · 22/02/2012 19:46

Dr who here too!

ifancyashandy · 22/02/2012 19:48

Harriet Eleanor Jones instantly came to mind

Catherine, Victoria, Rachael, Estelle,

CharlieBoo · 22/02/2012 20:24

I think as a middle name its ok, but not as a first. I'm a Jones too...

Harriet Jones is lovely.

EBDteacher · 22/02/2012 20:29

Harriet Eloise Jones or Harriet Elodie Jones

Another vote for Elisabeth, Catherine or Rachel.

or what about:
Harriet Lucy
Harriet Frances
Harriet Emily
Harriet Amy
Harriet Seren/serena
Harriet Amelia
Harriet Olivia
Harriet Matilda
Harriet Evie
Harriet Rebecca
Harriet Zara
Harriet Laura/Lauren

HolyNoSheDittantBatman · 22/02/2012 20:41

Harriet Eliza Jones

charlottery · 22/02/2012 21:47

I was going for Eliza too (we're Jones too, and dd2s middle name is Eliza, dd1 has 2 middle names, Elin Patricia)

CheesyWellingtons · 22/02/2012 22:07

I second Harriet Amelia Jones - I think it needs to be a two or three syllable name.

nokissymum · 22/02/2012 22:11

Harriet Margaret Jones.

Marrow · 22/02/2012 22:20

Harriet Ann

PartialToACupOfMilo · 22/02/2012 22:21

Harriet May Jones

ArielNonBio · 22/02/2012 22:24

I was just going to say May! Or maybe Mae.

Harriet Mae Jones is lovely.
