Harriet or Helena (pronounced Helen-a)

[Tractorinthebarn]

Just that really! Which would you choose? Thanks

Helena. DC2 would have been Helena Maud if he hadn't been a DS.

Harriet! Love Hattie for short :) It's top of my list my it's my brother's girlfriend's name - gutted :(

Helena. Classy elegant and very pretty, as is Harriet, but. It's been done to death.

Both are lovely but all the Helenas I've known have pronounced it Hel-ay-na.

Harriet.

Even the fact that you have to specify how it's pronounced would put me off. She would be forever called Eleanor by mistake.

Thank you everyone. Bit of a mixed reaction which is the problem!
