My DH and I are expecting in 2 months, and we are struggling with a girl’s name! We pretty much have a boy’s name, [name_m]Archer[/name_m], but girls are harder for us. We are thinking about the name [name_f]Harriet[/name_f], because we both love the nickname [name_f]Hattie[/name_f], but we neither one feel 100% confident in that name. We like older names, but not names that are back in style yet, though may he coming back slightly. And I’m very adamant that our baby has to have a name with a good nickname. Our DS’s name is [name_m]Brigham[/name_m] ([name_m]Briggs[/name_m]), and I love that he has 2 names to choose from as he grows up. I welcome any suggestions, or any opinions on the name [name_f]Harriet[/name_f]! Thank you in advance!
I love [name_f]Harriet[/name_f]! I think it’s a wonderful choice if you and your hubby decide to go through with it. [name_f]Hattie[/name_f] is adorable.

There is the Hawaiian version of [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] ‘[name_f]Hariata[/name_f]’, which I think is very pretty.
Other names that could have ‘[name_f]Hattie[/name_f]’ as a nn:
[name_f]Hanita[/name_f]

Also I have just heard it used on it’s own, instead of being short for something.

I love [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] too. Also thought of [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] nn [name_f]Emmy[/name_f].
I love [name_f]Harriet[/name_f], but lately, am particularly loving [name_f]Henriette[/name_f]. [name_f]Henrietta[/name_f] is lovely too, but [name_f]Henriette[/name_f] has the edge for me.
I love [name_m]Brigham[/name_m] and [name_f]Harriet[/name_f]! The name [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] always reminds me of the name [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]–strong and historic.
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] nn [name_f]Hattie[/name_f] is adorable with your sons name.
