We had settled on a middle name, but I just do not love it and don’t feel like it fits with our style/sib-set. So, we are starting from scratch!
Short list:
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] Thisby
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] Exley
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_f]Delilah[/name_f]
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_u]Marley[/name_u]
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_u]Haven[/name_u]
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_u]Harper[/name_u]
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] Mobley (probably not usable, but I do like it)
Suggestions?! I want something spunky, quirky, idk, just something to freshen up [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] so it doesn’t feel too stuffy. :rolleyes:
(PS, our kids are [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] [name_m]Julian[/name_m], [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_u]London[/name_u], and [name_m]Foster[/name_m] [name_m]Kingsley[/name_m]. Our last name starts with R and is 2 syllables.)
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] Thisby is lovely although I would prefer [name_f]Thisbe[/name_f]. [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] would be my second choice, then [name_u]Harper[/name_u].
[name_f]My[/name_f] cousin is [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_f]Isabella[/name_f], I guess that’s maybe too classic though. Maybe…
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_f]Stella[/name_f]
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_u]Hadley[/name_u]
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_f]Imogen[/name_f]

[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_f]Poppy[/name_f]
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_u]Ruby[/name_u]
I’m not 100% on a spelling of Thisby/[name_f]Thisbe[/name_f]/Thisbee I just want as little pronunciation issues as possible!
I don’t like [name_f]Isabella[/name_f], too trendy, plus I have a niece named [name_f]Isabel[/name_f] anyways.
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_f]Stella[/name_f]
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_u]Hadley[/name_u]- considered it, wasn’t sure if it was too rhyme-y…
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_u]Piper[/name_u]- I like [name_u]Piper[/name_u], but its my aunts dogs name and my girls would think thats weird, lol.
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_f]Esme[/name_f]- Also like [name_f]Esme[/name_f], but it just doesn’t feel right with [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] to me
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_f]Lila[/name_f]- Prefer [name_f]Delilah[/name_f]
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_u]Everly[/name_u]- it’s so-so
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_u]Ruby[/name_u]- too classic
And the others I just don’t like at all. Not trying to be picky, just giving feedback so ya’ll can get a feel for my likes and dislikes. Thank you!
I really, really like British-sounding firsts and middles for you.
You’ve done a brilliant job with your sibset.
[name_f]May[/name_f] I suggest:
[name_f]Eloise[/name_f] [name_m]Julian[/name_m], [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_u]London[/name_u], [name_m]Foster[/name_m] [name_m]Kingsley[/name_m] {and}
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] Pemberley {or} [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_m]Thackeray[/name_m]
{[name_m]Just[/name_m] for fun: two “n”-ending middles and two “y”-ending middles; two with two syllables and two with three syllables :).}
The best combo I’ve seen so far is [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_f]Stella[/name_f] - the first thing I thought of, but someone beat me to it.

I love, love [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] Thisby/[name_f]Thisbe[/name_f]/Thisbee! But [name_f]Thisbe[/name_f] is one of my favorite names so I may be biased. The other name I really like off your list is [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] Exley.
I’m not loving the alliteration from [name_u]Harper[/name_u] and [name_u]Haven[/name_u], but I do like those names separately.
As for Mobley, I honestly pronounced it [name_m]Mowgli[/name_m] at first glance and then actually liked it. [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_m]Mowgli[/name_m]…that’s pretty spunky!! I like the unisex feel for your daughters’ middle names so apart from my beloved [name_f]Thisbe[/name_f], what about something like [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u], [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_u]Jude[/name_u] (might be a no because of [name_m]Julian[/name_m] already in use!) [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_u]Malin[/name_u] (or [name_f]Maren[/name_f]) or [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_u]Penrose[/name_u]?
Best of luck!!

I also like the suggestions of:
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_u]Arden[/name_u]
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_f]Esme[/name_f]
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_f]Viola[/name_f]
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u]
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_f]Annika[/name_f]
Dh vetoed everything except for [name_u]Marley[/name_u] and he is “ok” with [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] but he doesn’t think it flows well. He suggested [name_f]Coraline[/name_f], which I like but don’t love.
Bumping this up for input from the morning crowd.
