Harriet or Charlotte

[CookieDoodles]

We are due with our second baby (gender unknown, but we are certain of a boys name), at the end of the month and I can't decide between two girls names. We already have a daughter names Evelyn.

Struggling to decide between...

Harriet (would always be known has Hattie)

Or

Charlotte (would always be known as Lottie)

(Middle name for either would most likely be Eliza)

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

I like Charlotte. But I really dislike Lottie. Why change Charlotte to Lottie as they're both 2 syllables?!

It's the name Lottie that we actually like!
Whilst we both think Charlotte is a pretty name, it's just not one that we both love. She would just have Charlotte as a formality on her BC, and if she chose to use it in the future then she would have the option (job applications/ interviews etc - sounds a bit more professional I guess)

Prefer Lottie.

If you want Lottie, name her Lotta or Lotte.

Charlotte is a different name imo and Charlie a much more natural shortening.

Harriet for me x

Harriet for me.

Harriet.

There is lots of Charlottes about very few Harriets. I have worked in Primary schools and nurseries for thirty years and never come across one had a friend Martha years ago who called her daughter Harriet and I have always loved it. It goes well with Evelyn.

Harriet

I think it flows better with Eliza, plus Charlotte Eliza(beth) is a bit too royal for me.

Harriet definitely.

Much prefer Charlotte (Lottie) to Harriet.

Love love love Lottie as a nn for Charlotte! I would have liked to use it but it really doesn't go with my surname!

Harriet definitely. I have known 5 Charlottes in my life and all absolutely hated being called lottie! Have only known 1 Harriet who got called Harry which she quite liked!

Harriet. I really like it, and I love Hattie. Great choice, OP.

I've got an Elizabeth Harriet so think it's a perfect name combination.

Harriet nickname Harry is cute.

I don't like Hatty/Hattie 🎩 sounds like a little hat.

Harriet

Harriet Eliza is lovely.

Really love both names
I think Lottie would work well as a nickname for Charlotte especially these days where nursery and school ask you what you'd like your child to be "known as" so just write "Lottie" (and not Charlie) on the form

I love both but prefer Charlotte/Lottie
I think Lottie is a more common nickname for children now than it was when we were kids, and if you introduce her as Lottie then nobody will call her Charlie

I prefer Charlotte to Harriet. However I prefer Hattie to Lottie.
Sorry that's not helpful is it.

Although I love Eliza as a middle name

Charlotte. Harriet.
Lottie. Hattie.
Like them all.
Sorry. I haven't helped.

My SIL is Charlotte but has always been known as Lottie. Though a lot of people call her "Lot" too.
I love the name.
Harriet might also get shortened to "Harri"

Charlotte

I love both names. Slightly prefer Harriet as its more unusual, but equally not keen of Hattie as a nickname a d prefer Lottie!

Lottie definitely....
