How many Harriet's (nn. Hattie) do you know?

It’s currently ranked 49 and its popularity seems to be rising.

(But whether 49 is actually popular depends on who you’re asking...)

One, about 18. Lovely girl.

ChocolateCrunch · 09/01/2018 21:15

One, early twenties

SwinginFromTheChandelier · 09/01/2018 21:25

Not overly, don't think you will get more than 1 in a year group of maybe 3 x firms. A teacher!

SoftSheen · 09/01/2018 21:27

One, aged about 2. Lovely name!

ChimpyChops · 09/01/2018 21:27

Only one. I love it!

CoolCarrie · 09/01/2018 21:28

Not a nice name tbh

CoolCarrie · 09/01/2018 21:29

And don’t know any!

AuntieAunt · 09/01/2018 21:33

I'm in my mid twenties and now work with young people.

There was one in my year at secondary school. I knew one from an extra curricular activity and I have one as a relation.

I absolutely adore the name. It's classy, timeless and I think pretty. I'm debating on having a Harriet but i'm not particularly close to said relative and I wouldn't want other members to think I named my daughter over the quite sweet but distant aunt.

VioletCharlotte · 09/01/2018 21:34

I know one, she's 16.

willthisyeareverbeover · 09/01/2018 21:47

I have a Harriot

kaytee87 · 10/01/2018 08:39

I know a baby Harriet. I think it's becoming more popular.

OakIsBetterTho · 10/01/2018 08:52

I know 2. Both are about 21. It's a shame tho... I love the name but both Harriet's I know are bloody horrible 😂

franhat · 10/01/2018 08:55
