adoggymama · 09/10/2018 16:46

I like Harlow and Hope as H names.

DreamsofJacaranda · 09/10/2018 16:47

Helice means propeller in French, and besides, it would constantly be mistaken for Alice or Ellis Confused

shakeyourcaboose · 09/10/2018 16:51

Honeysuckle? (As in weeks)
Heather

caoje · 09/10/2018 16:54

I really like
Hester
Hallie
Halsey
Harley

I also like
Hattie
Harper
Hazel

DreamsofJacaranda · 09/10/2018 16:55

Harlinne is awful, and autocorrects to Hairline ...

Hensley sounds masculine

Hester is at least a recognisable name.

Heather and Hazel are both pretty and uncommon. Or do you want something unique?

Mummaluelae · 09/10/2018 16:56

I love the name henrietta and harlinne, seen it spelt harleen (if its pronounced the same)
Also
Hettie
Halle
Hailee
Harley
Hanna
Hollie
Hola
Hyacinth
Harriett
Harri
Honor
Hazella
Hariella (like ariella)
Howie

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 09/10/2018 17:20

Why H? And why so obscure?

BertieBotts · 09/10/2018 17:37

Hester is my favourite of what you've posted. I also like Harriet, and Hanne.

Harper?

Cosmoa · 09/10/2018 17:39

Heloïse ❤️

Cosmoa · 09/10/2018 17:40

Héloïse* (forgot the accent on the first e!)

SandysMam · 09/10/2018 17:41

I love Helena and Hannah. I also quite like Hayden for a girl (after the chick from Nashville) but Mumsnet would have a lot to say about that!

Coffeethrowtrampbitch · 09/10/2018 17:44

I've an acquaintance called Helenor and I've always thought that was lovely. She is the only person I know with that name.

CaptSkippy · 09/10/2018 17:48

Hanneke, Helena, Halske, Hannelore, Hanriette, Harma, Hansje, Hermelien, Harmina, Helga, Hedwieg, Hendrika, Hilda, Heleen, Hinde, Hortensia, Hylke

These are mostly common in the Netherlands.

BiscuitsAndGravy · 09/10/2018 17:49

Hestia, she was an Ancient Greek goddess.

auldcraw · 09/10/2018 17:51

What about

Hera - goddess of women and childbirth

Hope - because we certainly need that

Hermione - as in harry potter cos she might end up as a clever little witch

GoJohnnyGoGoGoGo · 09/10/2018 17:52

Haf or Hetty get my vote

ImogenTubbs · 09/10/2018 17:55

I like Hilde. German I think - probably short for Hildegard.

caringcarer · 09/10/2018 18:03

Hattie, Helena and Hope are my best girls H names.

bridgetreilly · 09/10/2018 18:20

Hester is the only one I really like from your list.

What about:
Hebe
Hermione
Henrietta
Hope

MyBootsAreMuddy · 09/10/2018 18:21

I like Hannah, Hester and Helena from your lists. Also Hettie, Hera, Hermione and Hazel.

Hebe is another H name I like
