Hi I'm having my first and it's a girl! I'm very excited and nervous cause I want to give her the best - including the best name! My family is huge and seems there's a trend to name the girl with the name which has a "boyish" nickname, so far, we have: Charlotte (aka Charlie)-me, Francesca (aka Frankie)-my older sister, Samantha (aka Sam)-niece, Michaela (aka Mikey-niece), Josephine (aka Joey)-niece. I fell in love with the name Harriet (nn would be Harry). Both me and my husband love the name, but we've heard a few negative comments... All I want to know is:
Do you like Harriet?? What do you think of it?
Thanks!

THAT IS A WONDERFUL NAME BUT THE NICKNAME I AM NOT SO SURE ABOUT THE NICKNAME LIKE YOU SAID WOULD BE A PROBLEM SO ITS HARD BUT THE QUESTION IS DO YOU LIKE THE NAME SO MUCH THAT YOU WILL DEAL WITH IT

i love the name. my cousin is Harriet and we call her Hera or Hero for short.

If you both like the name then you should name your baby Harriet. Good luck and congratulations!

BTW, my aunt's name is Henrietta and we call her Henri.
