Is Harriet...

[badg3r]

... a "naughty" name? I love it but have been a bit surprised by people's exactions in real life!

Teacher here. Harriet not on my "naughty list" (and yes I do have one!)

Love Harriet.
Doesn’t have any connotations for me?

This is reassuring! I was sure they were wrong

I love Harriet, great name.

No. I'm a teacher, the 3 Harriets I know are:

18 years old. Lovely, kind, very talented.
11 years old. Quirky, very happy in her own skin
4 year old. Bouncy and energetic, but does behave.

My dd2 is 8
Her middle name is Harriet
Xx

More upper middle class to me. Also Harriet the Spy (wonderful book and a very human heroine).

I know some excellent Harriets

I love Harriet. Great name.

No not naughty at all.

DS was going to be Harriet if he'd been a girl, it's a beautiful name.

No she's the vicar in emmerdale, who used to be in the police. Double dose of goodness with her

Harriet is a lovely name, not a naughty name at all.

It's the opposite of naughty IME

More of a head girl/swot name!

I know some lovely Harriets but all are under school age and it seems to be increasing in popularity in case that is a concern to you.

No, I wouldn't call it a 'naughty' name

I think it is very middle class, a school friend named her dd Harriett, the child in question ended up as a teenage mother, tattooed, drugs, the lot but it still suited her.

I love it. It was my great grandmothers name, the only living one I know is a physics teacher.

I love it and would choose it if I had a dd. I know one but she’s shortened to Hattie.

I love it.

Love this name and would have chosen it for DD is it didn't rhyme with my son's name (also on this list was Charlotte).

Just out if interest...what examples of naughty names are there?

Oh I love Hattie as a nickname too!

I don't like hearing names being described as 'naughty' It's just lazy stereotyping if you ask me.

Anyway, Harriet is lovely.

Neither do I drama but as a teacher when someone says a name it just conjures up a pupils face in your head! Does actually happen for good reasons too sometimes, but you are more likely to remember bad experiences than good...

I'm also a teacher and only know one, very nice, Harriet
