I like them all, Clara's my favourite!

doublecheeseburgermediumfries · 16/08/2020 20:28

Harriet is my favourite name at the moment! Top of my list!

BikeTyson · 16/08/2020 20:29

Clara my favourite. I’m not keen on Harriet or Dorothy.

AdaColeman · 16/08/2020 20:29

I like them all, Clara and Juliet are my favourites.

RandomTree · 16/08/2020 20:30

In order:
Clara
Juliet
Tabitha
Harriet
Dorothy

steppemum · 16/08/2020 20:30

Tabitha is a cat's name.

The rest are OK.

DramaAlpaca · 16/08/2020 20:34

@steppemum

Tabitha is a cat's name.

The rest are OK.

I agree with this.

My favourite is Harriet.

HathorX · 16/08/2020 20:34

Clara is great, nickname Clarrie, is that acceptable?

I don't like Dorothy (although I think Dot is cute).

I like Tabitha a lot, but it always reminds me of a witch's cat on a children's book.

userabcname · 16/08/2020 20:36

I love Tabitha and Juliet. Clara is nice. Dorothy is ok but not a huge fan. Don't like Harriet at all, sorry.

Frazzled13 · 16/08/2020 20:40

For me the order goes:
Harriet
Clara
Juliet
Tabitha
Dorothy

I really don't like Dorothy (sorry) and to me, Tabitha is a cat's name.
Really like Harriet though, and Clara a close second.

janetmendoza · 16/08/2020 20:44

Harriet first closely followed by Juliet

supersonicrocket · 16/08/2020 20:45

I actually have two dogs named Tabitha and Dorothy so I can't see them as a normal name for a baby.

Harriet and Juliet are lovely though. Clara seems very bland to me

Dollywilde · 16/08/2020 20:50

My favourites in order:

Juliet
Tabitha
Clara
Harriet
Dorothy

Boireannachlaidir · 16/08/2020 20:53

Juliet

newmum332 · 16/08/2020 20:56

Clara is my favourite!
Harriet & Juliet ok.
Don’t like Dorothy or Tabitha at all

BingoGo · 16/08/2020 20:56

I like Juliet and Clara.
Not keen on the rest

user1493494961 · 16/08/2020 20:59

Only like Clara and Juliet.

VictoriaBun · 16/08/2020 21:00

Clara - Harriet - Juliet , the others not so much.

Minibea · 16/08/2020 21:00

I adore Clara - but it is my DD’s name so I’m a bit biased! We get lots of compliments on it. I’m terms of the rest of your list I like Harriet and Juliet but not keen on Dorothy and when someone says Tabitha, I automatically think cat- sorry!

Firebird83 · 16/08/2020 21:00

Dorothy or Tabitha

bluechameleon · 16/08/2020 21:01

I love Harriet and Clara. I also like Juliet. Not so keen on Dorothy and don't like Tabitha.

user256162589 · 16/08/2020 21:07

I absolutely love Juliet. Its one of two names I am currently considering. Good luck deciding! Be interested to know which is your favourite.

Whatthebloodyell · 16/08/2020 21:12

If you have a favourite, use it!

Whatsyourflava · 16/08/2020 21:14

You have a gorgeous list OP! Love your selections!'

Dorothy - LOVE
Harriet - LOVE
Tabitha - ok but not a favourite.
Clara - LOVE favourite ❤️
Juliet - dislike as hate the nickname Jules and all the Juliets I've known have been reduced to Jules whether they liked it or not

SpeedofaSloth · 16/08/2020 21:15

Harriet, nn Hattie.
