Briony, then Harriet, then Norah, then Ramona. Though I prefer Nora without the h.

Sexnotgender · 31/12/2018 07:53

Love, love, love Harriet.
Fairly indifferent to the other 3.

Tobykins · 31/12/2018 07:54

Harriet

IWouldBeSuperb · 31/12/2018 07:55

Love Norah and Briony, not keen on Harriet, or Ramona -

Would definitely depend on your surname for me though - I was really picky about them 'going together' for mine!

jq28 · 31/12/2018 08:04

Briony

Escolar · 31/12/2018 08:05

My favourite is Briony.

Hazlenutpie · 31/12/2018 08:06

I like Norah. ❤️

TatianaLarina · 31/12/2018 08:07

Briony from that list.

Intensely dislike Norah, not wild about Ramona. Prefer Romane or Romilly.

Astronica · 31/12/2018 08:17

I love 3 of your names: Harriet, Briony and Ramona. All absolutely gorgeous! Norah sounds harsh, quite trendy, and bland in comparison to me.

I would find it hard to pick out of my favourite 3 - it depends on your surname, the child's middle name and other siblings. I would love to meet a little one with any of these 3 names.

RedDwarves · 31/12/2018 08:18

Ramona is brilliant.

Then Nora, without the h.

Not a fan of Harriet or Briony.

Twodogsandahooch · 31/12/2018 08:19

I love Ramona

WrithingHomeForChristmas · 31/12/2018 08:19

Norah or Ramona.

GodknowsIwanttobreakfree · 31/12/2018 08:20

Dont like Norah at all but popular on here.

They’re all quite different!

SuperstarDJ · 31/12/2018 08:21

I like Harriet & Norah from your list. Not keen on Ramona though think it could grow on me. Really don’t like Briony.

Peachbubble · 31/12/2018 08:26

I like Norah and Harriet, not so sure about Briony, and really dislike Ramona, sorry.

Redcrayonisthebest · 31/12/2018 08:43

Harriet and Ramona are my favourites here. Briony is pretty though. Norah just makes me think of Norah Batty and her wrinkled stockings... sorry! Grin

Me too. I would choose Harriet OP.

CakeRattleandRoll · 31/12/2018 09:12

My favourite is Norah, and prefer it with the 'h'. Next would be Harriet.

Youcancallmeval · 31/12/2018 09:59

I only like Harriet.

MikeUniformMike · 31/12/2018 10:38

Harriet or Ramona, in that order. Briony is too Briany, and Norah isn't very nice.

MikeUniformMike · 31/12/2018 10:39

Isn't Ramona a bit Remoaner-like for this year?

Phebes · 31/12/2018 10:44

Briony! Not common but familiar, and strong and pretty.

singingismypassion · 31/12/2018 11:03

I love Harriet but dislike the other names

JaffaBiscuitNotCake · 31/12/2018 11:06

Isn't Ramona a bit Remoaner-like for this year?

Yep, was about to post the same.

I like Harriet best

GoldenSyrupLion · 31/12/2018 11:07

Briony.
