I am currently in the late stages of my pregnancy and we are still undecided on what we are going to name our little girl. My husband and I both seem to like the et/ette sounding names. We have Harriet high on our list but I recently discovered that my great grandfather was affectionately known by Harry and we already named our dd1 after my great grandmother meaning we would have a husband and wife sibset. I don't know if this is enough to change our favourite but looking into other options. My husband really likes Juliette and I like Violet.

What are your thoughts on the names Harriet, Juliette and Violet? Middle name will be Florence (family name)
What other et/ette names do you like?

I don't like the Juliette or Violette spellings.
-ette names seem a bit 1950s - Annette, Yvette etc.

I like Juliette best, and also like Colette.

Mariette, Lynette, Lisette, Claudette, Anisette, Cosette, Josette, Sylvette

Love Harriet and I don't think the relative thing matters. DD is Juliet so biased on that one

Thanks everyone for your replies, thoughts and suggestions on the names. I think we will go with Harriet. It's the name we both like the most.
