Middle name for Hattie/Harriet?

[Babyontheway24]

We’re expecting our first daughter in February and love the name Hattie / Harriet (can’t decide which yet). Which names could work well with both Hattie and Harriet?

Elizabeth?

Harriet / Hattie Alice
Harriet / Hattie Zara
Harriet / Hattie Nina

Louise ?

Go for Harriet and then you have the option to use both.

Victoria
Sophie /sophia
Grace
Evelyn
Georgina
Anna or Annabel

Harriet Ethel?

Love the name Harriet. I would pair it with something traditional

Hattie was on our list, we also liked Martha and Eliza and so probably would have gone for Hattie Martha

Harriet's lovely and Hattie as a diminutive is great.

Any middle name that is fairly classic but isn't a one-syllable filler middle name or a disney-princess name.

Avoid a name that would make the initials a word (e.g. HIT, HIM,HAG, HAM)

My Hattie is Harriet Florence on birth certificate. She is always Hattie though. Still love it.

I know an adult Harriet May, but she was named decades before May became such a popular middle name.

Lexi
Jade
Ivy
Mae

Harriet Maeve
Harriet Rosanne
Harriet Jane
Harriet Hermione

We have Harriet Rose. Nickname Ettie

Marni
Cecily
Summer

Hattie is short for Harriet - I wouldn’t just call her Hattie, it’s too nicknamey

i like family names for middle names, but if you don’t have one you like, I think 2 syllables is best -

Harriet Florence
Harriet Frances
Harriet Margot
Harriet Lucy
Harriet Robin
Harriet Sylvie
Harriet Oona
Harriet Honor

You just want to avoid the May/Rose/Grace cliche

Go for Harriet then you have options!

Harriet Mabel
Harriet Florence as a pp said is nice
Harriet Marie

Harriet Jane.

Jane is a perfect middle name.

It has strong literary connections.

It's a strong solid monosyllabic.

And I don't know why but J is the best middle initial.

Harriet (Hattie) Louise (Hattie Lou)
Harriet Josephine (Hattie Jo)
Harriet (Hattie Rose)
Harriet Elizabeth (Hattie Beth)

Didn’t think of it myself but Harriet Florence sounds very nice together

I think Harriet as the first name to give nickname options when she's older. I'd also go for a two syllable middle name that doesn't start with a vowel e.g. Lucy, Mary, Martha, Phoebe, Laura, Rachel.

Oooh, I like Harriet! To me Harriet has a really solid, slightly posh vibe (but not in any kind of bad way). I picture someone well educated who enjoys outdoor pursuits.

I personally think there are two good but different directions to go in with the middle name. I've tried to suggest less expected names just to increase the variety of suggestions you get!

1. Shorter, traditionally English, matching the tone/associations of Harriet itself but with a different sound-shape:

Harriet Eve
Harriet Frances
Harriet Jean
Harriet Lucy
Harriet Audrey

2. Somewhat wispier, softer, fey and/or from a different cultural etymology (eg Celtic, Cornish, mythology, international etc) that offer more of a contrast to Harriet:

Harriet Niamh
Harriet Merryn
Harriet Anwen
Harriet Isabeau
Harriet Seren
Harriet Aisling
Harriet Demelza
Harriet Elise

My first thought was that it needed a J name
Harriet Jemima would be lovely

Harriet

Harriet Louise
