Can't decide between these two girl's names

[marmiteontoast76]

Harriet or Rosa. I love them both equally for a first name.

Love the flow of Rosa Catherine and Harriet Eliza though.

Or if I love them both should probably keep them both.

Surname similar to Platt. So which flows better? Harriet Rosa Platt or Rosa Harriet Platt?

Will this be your only/last child?

I know quite a few people who regret using up their two favourite names on the first!

Rosa. No contest.

Harriet always sounds a bit rattly to me.

Yes my third and last child.

Forgot to mention in post - the way I feel about Rosa is the way I felt about Eva ten years ago. Starry eyed. Is it about to rocket in popularity like Eva did? Not that it should really matter anyway.

I like names that work well internationally which I think Rosa does but not sure about Harriet.

Time to stop over thinking!

Harriet, can be hattie while young but also a grown up name later on. It may be just me, but I associate the name with nice people!

Rosa is lovely. But I prefer Eliza Rose

Love Harriet.

Rosa for me, because of your surname. Harriet 'Platt' sounds like a machine gun going off.

I think Rosa is set to increase in popularity for sure, I know one 5yr old Rosa and two baby Rosas. I also know a Rosalind pronounced Rosa-Lind. It is a beautiful name though and it depends if popularity bothers you, I know it doesn't for many (and why should it, surely it is a good thing that lots of people like your child's name!!)

I prefer Harriet though. I love Hattie as a nickname.

Harriet Platt sounds like one of those formidable mono-bosomed Yorkshire women from Last of the Summer Wine.

Go with Rosa. So much nicer.

I prefer Rosa!

I love Harriet, but I also like Rosa........I'm aware that's no help to you whatsoever!!

Both are nice, but I prefer Rosa.

Rosa, because it's one of my middle names and it's much prettier than Harriet.

I like Harriet a lot but don't like it with the surname. I think the t and tt sound odd together. Almost makes you want to say Harri-at Platt. Depends how similar the surname is.

So Rosa.

Also a vote for Rosa, it is lovely. I like Harriet but not as much. I like the nn Hattie, though.

But maybe not Hattie Platt!

Rosa. I'm sorry, but Harriet sounds like a 90 year old woman.

I ADORE Rosa. But then, that's what I named my DD It still gives me pleasure every time I say it.

I've never been too keen on Harriet.

Rosa. Harriets are everywhere.

Thanks for all the comments.

Love the machine gun going off one!

Was that what you were aiming for, OP?

I detest Harriet, it's boring and stuffy. Definitely go for Rosa.

Rosa. I don't know any Rosa's. I'm really not keen on Harriet.

Love Harriet , it has gravitas!
But sadly not with your surname.. Hmm
Rosa sounds like the maid.

Rosamund better.
