Opinions on my shortlist for girls

[GrammerlyH]

Please could you give me your honest opinions on these names:

Harriet
Philippa
Sophie
Kate/Katie
Ella
Anna

Thank you

I also like the shortening of Hattie for Harriet.

Harriet
Philippa
Sophie
Kate/Katie
Ella
Anna

I like Harry & Pip.

Katie used to be a favourite, but I know too many now.

Sophie is ok (but not Sophia)

Very, very over Ella & Anna.

Great names! My faves are Harriet, Kate and Anna

Anna and Philippa are by far my favourites. Anna is just classic and lovely. Philippa is also so classic and lovely. Pippa is gorgeous as a shortening.

I hate Harriet. I just find it very wet and bland.
Sophie and Katie are also a bit wet.

Ella is okay but a bit boring.

Sophie from your list - but I prefer Sophia.
Harriet as a second choice

Really like Ella...

I like them all.
In more detail:

Harriet - never been hugely enamoured, but a good strong name (Harriet the Spy is an interesting namesake)
Philippa - like this quite a lot
Sophie - the perfect name. Beautiful, elegant, great meaning, international. The only fly in the ointment is its popularity, but this is the one name where I would almost say the risk of having 4 others in the class is worth it
Kate/Katie - would definitely go with Katherine on the birth cert.
Ella - I think this is my least favourite of all these. It's pretty, though
Anna - like a lot

Sophie Harriet works really well as a first name/middle name combination.

Harriet- love, love, love this, although was one of the (many) names my DH vetoes.
Philippa- it’s ok, I like the nn Pippa but not really the full name!
Sophie- love this, it’s SIL name, we used a variant as a middle name for DD
Kate/Katie- I’m a Kate, ignore the Katherine on BC crew! It’s never done me any harm! And a colleague a Katherine but known as Kate frequently comments she wishes her parents had just gone with Kate.
Ella - lots and lots of these around at the mo
Anna- as above! Although I do prefer this to Ella 😊
