Help us choose Harriet’s sister

[Sunspun89]

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] everyone,

We’re looking for a name for [name_f]Harriet[/name_f]’s sister, and are hoping someone out there can help us find ‘the one.’ [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] goes by [name_f]Hattie[/name_f] a lot of the time.

We like vintage names with some spark! Names with nickname potential are great. We have two criteria though which are making things tricky - the name cannot end with an ‘s’ or ‘a’ sound as these wouldn’t flow with our surname.

So far we like:

[name_f]Ivy[/name_f]

[name_f]Margot[/name_f] ([name_f]Mae[/name_f]/Maggie)

[name_f]Winifred[/name_f] ([name_u]Win[/name_u]/Winnie)

[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] ([name_u]Pip[/name_u]/Penny)

Thanks for sharing your feedback and ideas.

I think that [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] and [name_f]Winifred[/name_f] feels like a bit of a mouthful.

Harriet and [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] sounds lovely as does [name_f]Hattie[/name_f] and [name_u]Penny[/name_u] or [name_f]Hattie[/name_f] and [name_u]Pip[/name_u].

Harriet and [name_f]Margot[/name_f] is also really lovely.

I love the name [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] but not sure how well it fits with [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] or [name_f]Hattie[/name_f]

Harriet and [name_f]Winifred[/name_f]! Two of my favorite names. [name_f]Hattie[/name_f] and [name_f]Winnie[/name_f] are adorable together. [name_f]Winifred[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] would be pretty.

[MichelleM]

Hi there.

Here are my thoughts on your list-

Ivy-This is nice. It. seems a little lacking next to the bold [name_f]Harriet[/name_f], & probably more popular. A good enough name though. I like the nature imagery, but honestly, sometimes I just hear I.V., like what you get at the hospital.

Margot-I feel like the nns here are a little stretch, but maybe not. [name_f]Margot[/name_f] is.a good solid name that goes well w/Harriet. Getting a bit more popular. I’m personally not wowed by it, but it may be because I just see it on everyones’ list on this board.

Winifred-This seems perfect w/Harriet! [name_u]Unique[/name_u] yet simple, classic, feminine & just the right amount of dusty vintage. I mean that in the best way possible! [name_f]Hattie[/name_f] & [name_f]Winnie[/name_f] for sisters are just

Penelope-This is a really fun name. It’s well known, definitely more popular than [name_f]Harriet[/name_f], but not top ten or anything. It’s spunky, smart & feminine w/lots of great nns. I like [name_u]Penny[/name_u], but my favorite is [name_f]Nellie[/name_f]! [name_f]Polly[/name_f] or [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] are also good.

Here are a few more ideas that you may like:

Clementine nn [name_f]Minnie[/name_f] or [name_f]Cleo[/name_f]

Dorothy nn [name_f]Dora[/name_f], [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] or [name_f]Thea[/name_f]

Eleanor nn [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] or [name_f]Nellie[/name_f]…kind of popular, but it’s perfect w/Harriet & just a fabulous name.

Ellen nn [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] or [name_f]Nellie[/name_f]

Edith

Esther nn [name_f]Essie[/name_f] or [name_f]Tess[/name_f]

Estelle nn [name_f]Essie[/name_f]

Elizabeth nn [name_f]Eliza[/name_f], [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], [name_f]Elsie[/name_f], [name_f]Bess[/name_f], [name_f]Bette[/name_f] or [name_f]Tess[/name_f]

Emmeline

Gwyneth nn [name_f]Gigi[/name_f] or [name_f]Gwen[/name_f]

Gwendolen nn [name_f]Gigi[/name_f] or [name_f]Gwen[/name_f]

Imogen nn [name_f]Imee[/name_f], [name_f]Idgie[/name_f], [name_f]Ginny[/name_f] or [name_f]Minnie[/name_f]

Ilse

Josephine

Jane nn [name_f]Janie[/name_f]

June nn [name_f]Junie[/name_f]

Kathleen nn [name_u]Kit[/name_u] or [name_f]Kitty[/name_f]

Lilian nn [name_f]Lili[/name_f]

Laurel nn [name_f]Lulu[/name_f]

Margaret nn [name_f]Maggie[/name_f], [name_f]Molly[/name_f], [name_f]Maisy[/name_f], [name_f]Peggy[/name_f] or [name_f]Gerty[/name_f]

May

Mabel

Maple

Olive nn [name_f]Livy[/name_f]

Pearl

Phoebe

Rosalie nn [name_f]Rosie[/name_f]

Vivian nn [name_f]Vivie[/name_f]

Hope this helps.

I’ve always loved [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] and [name_f]Winifred[/name_f] together and I adore [name_f]Winnie[/name_f], so that’s definitely my favorite here for you.
[name_f]Margot[/name_f] is also a strong choice, and [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] would be my third.

So many great names have already been suggested (loving [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f], [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f], [name_f]Florence[/name_f], [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f], [name_f]Imogen[/name_f], [name_f]Felicity[/name_f], [name_f]Sophie[/name_f], and [name_f]Frances[/name_f])

Maybe

[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] & [name_f]Edith[/name_f] “[name_f]Hattie[/name_f] & [name_f]Edie[/name_f]/Eddie” ([name_f]Enid[/name_f] would also be nice and gets to the same nickname options)

[EllieHope4824]

I love [name_f]Margot[/name_f] and [name_f]Hattie[/name_f]! I personally would not choose [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] or [name_f]Winifred[/name_f]. [name_f]Winifred[/name_f] is such a sweet name but with [name_f]Hattie[/name_f] or [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] it seems a little too much! [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] I have never been a fan of just because the way it looks/sounds but it’s still nice! [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] is cute!
These four cane to my head so quick!
[name_f]Edith[/name_f]
[name_f]Elise[/name_f]
[name_u]Louise[/name_u]
[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f]

[Estrela]

Harriet and [name_f]Margot[/name_f] create a lovely set! Your list is beautiful.
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] was my first idea, but it doesn’t fit into your criteria.

I’m going to suggest:
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u]
[name_f]Noelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Gloria[/name_f]
[name_f]Lauren[/name_f]
[name_f]Bethany[/name_f]

[name_f]Blythe[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Olive[/name_f]

Harriet and [name_f]Margot[/name_f]!!!

[anon25197097]

Margot is lovely with [name_f]Harriet[/name_f]
How about
[name_f]Juliette[/name_f]
[name_f]Odette[/name_f]
[name_f]Millicent[/name_f]
[name_f]Verity[/name_f]
[name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Emmaline[/name_f]
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f]

[TDFM]

Margot is gorgeous with [name_f]Harriet[/name_f]! I also love the suggestion of [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] and want to suggest [name_f]Olive[/name_f] (Oli), which would go so well. [name_u]June[/name_u] ([name_f]Juni[/name_f]) and [name_f]Edith[/name_f] ([name_f]Edie[/name_f]) would be lovely too.

[mololy]

Winifred was actually my first thought! I love it paired with [name_f]Harriet[/name_f]/Hattie

Some other ideas:

Irene
[name_u]Louise[/name_u] / [name_f]Louisa[/name_f]
[name_f]Calla[/name_f]
[name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] ([name_f]Dot[/name_f], [name_f]Dottie[/name_f], [name_f]Tia[/name_f], [name_f]Thea[/name_f])
[name_f]Mercy[/name_f]
[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] ([name_f]Addie[/name_f], [name_f]Ada[/name_f], [name_f]Della[/name_f], [name_f]Adele[/name_f], [name_f]Daisy[/name_f])
[name_f]Mabel[/name_f] ( [name_f]Mae[/name_f], [name_u]Billie[/name_u], [name_f]Belle[/name_f])
[name_f]Esther[/name_f]
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f]
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f] ([name_f]Meg[/name_f], [name_f]Maggie[/name_f], [name_f]Greta[/name_f], [name_f]Peggy[/name_f])
[name_f]Polly[/name_f] / [name_f]Pollyanna[/name_f]
[name_f]Ramona[/name_f]

[voughtlori]

I like [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] or [name_f]Mabel[/name_f], nickname [name_f]Mae[/name_f] with [name_f]Hattie[/name_f].

[catherine89]

Winifred is wonderful with [name_f]Harriet[/name_f]!

Margot would be my second choice, only because [name_f]Margot[/name_f] is getting a bit more popular and [name_f]Winifred[/name_f] remains a more neglected gem, much like [name_f]Harriet[/name_f]. All your choices are pretty great!

[elle123]

Henrietta
[name_f]Georgina[/name_f] “[name_f]Gigi[/name_f]”
[name_f]Theodora[/name_f] “[name_f]Thea[/name_f]”
[name_f]Theresa[/name_f] “[name_f]Tessa[/name_f]”
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] “[name_f]Tillie[/name_f]”
[name_f]Agnes[/name_f]
[name_f]Adriana[/name_f]
[name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Davina[/name_f]
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] “[name_f]Cora[/name_f]”, “[name_f]Delia[/name_f]”
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] “[name_f]Millie[/name_f]”
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] “[name_u]Charlie[/name_u]”
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f] “[name_f]Cathy[/name_f]”
[name_f]Gretchen[/name_f]
[name_f]Freya[/name_f]
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u]
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] “[name_f]Eve[/name_f]”, “[name_f]Evie[/name_f]”
[name_f]Marianne[/name_f] “[name_u]Anne[/name_u]”, “[name_f]Annie[/name_f]”
[name_f]Eloise[/name_f] “[name_f]Elle[/name_f]”
[name_f]Esme[/name_f]
[name_f]Frances[/name_f] “[name_u]Fran[/name_u]”
[name_u]Louise[/name_u] “[name_u]Lou[/name_u]”
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f] “[name_f]Greta[/name_f]”

[JeanSea]

Winifred all the way! It’s perfect and has the same fun whimsy as [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] (but can be serious like [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] too). [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] would be my second choice, and I would consider the nickname [name_f]Nella[/name_f] too (is a nickname that ends in a okay?).
I also like the suggestions of [name_f]Florence[/name_f], [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f], and [name_f]Felicity[/name_f].
