Josephine, Frances, Harriet or Lydia?

[AlexanderS]

Which do you like best and why? And if you have a serious dislike of any of these names why?

i love Lydia sounds nice

Harriet but not Hattie or Hetty.

We're having a Hattie is this DC is a girl. Sunday name Harriet. Love it!

Harriet is lovely. The shortened version is Hattie which I like less. Not keen on your other choices though I'm sorry.

Harriet is my favourite.

Harriet for me too. Josephine next, and then not keen on the other two.

Harriet is my favourite by far.

Can I throw another name into the mix... Francesca??

I like Josephine and Frances, not so keen on Lydia and Harriet.

I like them all. I'd put them in this order:
Harriet
France's
Josephine
Lydia. I've met quite a lot of small Lydias recently.

Gah - where did that rogue apostrophe come from??

I have a baby Josephine and also love Lydia.
Not keen on Harriet/Hatty or Frances/Fran.

OP -Harriet was a surprise choice for us too -wasn't even on my radar until she was born

She is Hats for short - don't like hattie personally

Of your other names - I also love Lydia.....

Lydia - pretty, until you start thinking that it sounds remarkably like Chlamydia...

Josephine - lovely, this is my favourite out of your choices. And I love the nickname Sephie.

Frances - OK, but I prefer Francesca.

Harriet - Makes me think of Harriet Harman / Harperson / Harridan - yuck!

Lydia is my middle name and I have always loved it and wished it was my first name. If my baby is a girl we are going to call her Lydia Belle.
