Hello, I've always loved these two names but sadly can't use them. I can't seem to find any alternatives in the same vein. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you!

Is it the initial that you like? Or the way of altering a boys name?

Georgette, Daniella, Paulette, Carlotta, Francine, Gabrielle, Justine?

Is if the 'H' bit you like?

If not, I think Harriet and Henrietta's sisters might be Georgina, Jemima, Tabitha, Alexandra, Felicity, Francesca, Annabel, Lucinda, Charlotte, Eliza.

I went to school with lots of Harriets and Henriettas. Names I'd connect with those- Georgina, Lucinda, Sophie, Emma, Emily, Francesca, Arabella, Caroline, Jemima, Catherine, Jessica.

Or maybe Eliza? Robyn? Marianna?

Thanks all. Some great suggestions to consider there. Auntiestella, Bowlersarm - It is more a surname clash than anything else. Not keen on a H name specificially but a name with the same 'feel' as those two. Thank you!

What about Clara? Has the same posh girl vibe I think you're looking for but softer and prettier somehow.

MiddletonPink · 21/11/2014 15:36

Would it be really that bad with your surname?

Henrietta nn Hen is adorable and Harriet is as lovely.

Leonora?
