Brother for Harriet

50 replies

We are struggling for a shortlist for Harriet's brother.

We like more traditional names. Our favourite was Thomas but that's out due to family members new baby!

Middle name will be James.

Suggestions most welcome!

I know a little Harriet whose brother is Alexander. Alexander James sounds fab.

Thank you for your suggestions! Lots of lovely names, unfortunately there are so many boys in the family that we are struggling to find one unused!!

Hubbys favourite is:
Henry James

I also like:
Edward, Rory, William, Charles (Charlie), Alexander and Finley

Does Henry go ok with Harriet in your opinion?

Are you my SIL they have a Harriet and are looking at Henry for a name. I think names are all dependant on the surname tbh

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 09/11/2017 08:36

I'd avoid Henry personally, just in case I ended up with a Harry and Harriet!

I love Alexander James.

pipilangstrumpf · 09/11/2017 08:42

Harry and Harriet are far too similar

AnaWinter · 09/11/2017 08:45

I love Henry but wouldn’t with a Harriet.

Rory or William would be my choice.

yasmin05 · 09/11/2017 08:49

I'd love to have the name James or William with Harriet. :)

3Boys1Mum · 09/11/2017 08:59

My favourite is Daniel James and Harriett

Lovely, elegant and strong names

Second favourite is Alexander James and Harriett (I would have called my 3rd Alexander but sadly my ex vetoed it due to it being a rather handsome ex boyfriend Blush)
