I don’t know what we are expecting as keeping it a surprise but D day is drawing nearer. Have chosen a boys name but not sure on girls names yet.

Harriet in birth certificate but Hattie to us straight away...thoughts?

Harriet, nn Hattie, is great.

As much as I love Alice I don't love it as a middle name to Harriet as the sounds HARriet ALice is a bit repetitive. Harriet Ellen is great and actually I really like Harriet Daisy (and I'm not normally a massive fan of Daisy, but combined with Harriet is really lovely).

Harriet Lara is also nice, or Harriet Amy?

This was on my list for DD. We would have gone for :
Harriet Delilah or Harriet Pearl

It's a lovely name

As for your middle names choices:
Daisy is cutesy but actually works quite well with Harriet (since it's such a classic name).
Ellen is a little dull/sensible sounding to me with Harriet.
Alice doesn't sound that good with Harriet ("ah" sounds too close together?).
Freya would be a great option - Harriet Freya combines classic with more trendy/popular (and it has a nice flow imo),

I do like Harriet Daisy, just because when I found out I was pregnant I felt like Daisy was very much a ‘sign’. DH bought me Marc Jacobs Daisy perfume and I remember buying a car air freshener that had daisies over it (random I know) but loved the smell every time I got in the car. Almost felt like I started to associate the pregnancy with Daisy but didn’t want as a first name just because I feel it can be ‘outgrown’ after childhood. I think Harriet Daisy is the one! Baby will probably be a boy now though 🤣

My name is Harriet Alice 💁🏻‍♀️ Quite like my own name if that’s helpful to you! I’m a Harry rather than Hattie though. Also my DS is ‘longname’ on BC but has gone by an unusual shortening from before birth, we haven’t had any problems, just be firm if people try and deviate!

Oh didn’t see your Daisy update 😄 lovely choice!
