Harriet and ....Elliott? Too similar?

[Jenniferturkington]

Im struggling to come up with a name for Dc 3 due in five weeks.

I already have Zachary & Harriet.

I like Elliott but worry it sounds very similar to Harriet.

Other options currently floating around are:

Raphael, Sebastian, Rowan, Joshua, Freddie,

Josephine, Beatrice, Contance, Eliza.....

Any other suggestions most welcome!

I think they are too similar tbh.

I really like Rowan.

Laurence/Laurie?
Edmund?

I love Sebastien and Beatrice.
If you really like Elliott then go for it anyway, it is similar to Harriet but it wouldnt stop me going for a name I really like.

Ellis instead of Elliott?

It's ds's middle name as I loved Elliot but we already had a Harriet. Thought what I would sound like shouting at the pair of them and sounded bit silly.

Ellis is nice.

Yes I do like Laurie actually, had forgotten that one.

I'm not keen on Ellis, generally I prefer longer names with nn options (realise I've broken my own rule with some on my list!)

Our names for DS1 when I was pregnant were Elliot and Harriet. When I was expecting DC2 we decided on not going for Harriet if it were a girl as they sound too similar.

From your list I really like Rowan, Beatrice and Eliza.

Jeremy/Jem
Christopher/Kit
Edward/Teddy
Bartholomew/Bartie
Philip/Pip
Gregory/Gregg

From your suggestions I think Josephine, Beatrice, Constance, Sebastian, Joshua and Freddie (as nickname) would all go well with Zachary and Harriet. I do think Elliott is too similar to Harriet.

I think it does sound too similar. I think Joshua sounds really nice with the other two names.

Too similar for me I think I'd be very if I heard of sibs called Harriet AND Elliot.

I LOVE Sebastian, and Josephine from your list. They both go very well with your other two

I also think it sounds too similar.

Love Sebastian and Beatrice from your list though.

How about:
Christian / Christopher
Tristan
Gregory
Rafferty
Barnaby

Amelia
Cordelia
Florence
Georgina / Georgia
Scarlett

Too similar. From your lists I like Freddie, Constance, Beatrice, Eliza.

Too similar, I'd expect them to become Harry and Elli, which might not please either of them.

Your other names are really nice.

I think they are too similar. Do you like Zachary, Harriet & Ellis? That sounds bice.

Otherwise, I'd pick either Sebastian or Rowan. I really like the sound of Zac and Seb as sibling names and I think Rowan blends in well with both Harriet and Zachary.

I like Josephine best out of your female choices with Zachary and Harriet. Constance is very popular on here but it's not one for me.

Thanks for your thoughts, I guess I already knew they are too similar.

I have added Laurence (Laurie) to my shortlist although haven't put it to DH yet!

I like Rowan, Joshua, or Laurence for boys.

Girls, I like Constance, Josephine, and Eliza.
