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!

Thanks everyone. Both seem to be liked, but Harriet seems to be the slightly more popular choice on here.
The nicknames however seem to be what people are not keen on! Slightly more not liking Lottie.
We have decided on Harriet as we like both the full name and shortened version of Hattie too. Plus I heard someone use it whilst calling her daughter today and liked the sound of it.
Hubby says he can deal with her choosing to be known as Harri if she wanted to as she got older. He just wouldn't use it himself.
So Harriet Eliza she will be.
Just watch - we'll have a boy now after all of this! (Luckily we are set on a name for a boy)

I prefer Harriet, years ago I knew a Harriet who went by 'Hettie' as a nn, I always thought that was pretty.

Harriet. Hattie is gorgeous.

Can I ask your boys name OP? We have Charlotte as our middle name and I love Harriet but it's to close to DS name to use but I'm struggling with a boys name for baby number2! Seems like we have similar taste!

@flossiegeippiter of course, we have chosen Thomas as our boys name. (Second name Maxwell)
Thomas Maxwell 💙

Sorry - mistyped your name @flossiegrippiter! See above post

@flossiegrippiter we also liked James (but too similar to our surname) and Oscar.

Charlotte....but that's what I called my DO. ....Chars for short. its timeless.

DD. not DO

I have a 6yo Lottie. She's Charlotte but opted to be Lottie at school. She's one of only two in her school so not overly popular. She's never been called Charlie.

Thanks @CookieDoodles (and sorry for the multiple posts)! Thomas is a lovely name, although not an option for us as DH is Thomas!

I prefer Harriet but I like Eliza best. I’d go for Eliza Harriet. I think it flows better.

Another vote for Harriet! I love it

I love Charlotte but it's quite common now. Hattie is gorgeous.

Flossie is your boy Henry? I know a brother and sister Henry and Harriet - I will admit I did ponder on it for a while since Harriet comes from Henrietta, and a Harry is short for Henry 😄
