I already have a Charlotte and an Eliza and expecting DD3 in August. I love Harriet but my husband is concerned it is too similar sounding to Charlotte. Please give me your opinion. Thanks heaps.

Oh thank you all so so much. I will definitely go with Harriet as I have always loved it. I was starting to be swayed by DH and think that the similar 't' sound ending would be a bit much, but now thanks to all of your comments I'm just going to go with it!

Not too similar at all. Eliza and Charlotte are gorgeous and Harriet is nice too and goes v well.

all 3 were on our shortlist - Harriet won out in the end! Lovely combination IMO

I think they go together really nicely and both sound right with Eliza, but I am a Charlotte with a sister Harriet. Neither of us like the abbreviations Lottie or Hattie and no one dares call us by those names, apart from to wind us up.

Excellent choices.
