Esther or Harriet?

Baby girl due in the next three weeks. Down to Esther and Harriet for final two names.

Siblings will be Jack, Alexander, Sarah and Mary.

So the question is simply...

Esther or Harriet?

NB: Middle names will be Maude Frances, both family names. I'm not really struck on Maude, but it was the name of DH's grandmother, who passed away very recently, so I can't really say no. (Frances Maude actually sounds better, but even though we're now living in the US, I won't use it that way because of the Tory MP, Francis Maude)!

Prefer Esther

UPDATE: Our little bundle arrived three weeks early, on August 28, and she's Elisabeth Maud Frances.

She was Esther for a day, but it didn't quite fit her, and she definitely wasn't a Harriet. She is most definitely an Elisabeth though. After all that!

I really love the name Harriet and knew a horrible horrible Esther, so it kind of ruined that name for me!
