Harriet or Marian?

I want a strong, classical but also feminine name for baby DD. I both these but Harriet is more nickname-able.

But we are thinking of Artemis as a middle name and I think Marian Artemis flows better than Harriet Artemis......

Thoughts?

I vote Artemis! :) failing that, Harriet and Marian are both nice. Could be Hattie or Mary for short. Slight preference for Harriet

Marian is more unusual, harriet is more popular, if that helps at all.

Marian Artemis flows better, but Marian is such a dated, clunky name. I think Harriet is much nice, and nn Harry/Harri which is awesome.
