I like it. Harriet has an old-fashioned endearingly clunky appeal. It is one of those names that has grown on me. As a child, I remember disliking the name when I encountered it in a book, but somewhere along the line it struck me as cute and friendly.

I love it! It makes me think of Harriet the Spy. The nn Hattie is so cute.

I think it's rising in popularity. I started liking it suddenly 3 years ago. It was one of my favorites for a while around then, now I feel more ambivalent about it.I think it's the ultimate bluestocking name, and it has some grit because of association with Harriet Tubman. Harriet's a salt of the earth type but maybe still a little stuffy.

I like it, but......I strongly prefer Henrietta.

I like it. It has cute nickname potential. I have fond memories of an older Harriet when I was younger.

Don't care for it.I much prefer Henrietta, which I find much more elegant. Harriet is very dowdy and comes across as less inviting and warm, much like a harridan-type.

I also agreeDowdy is definitely the right word for Harriet.

I agree

I like it but only because of Harriet Tubman, otherwise I'd just think "harry it". But it is infinitely better than Henrietta.

Hi !!!I rate Harriet 6/10.It is an old favourite of mine. I used to like it a lot (previously it was 8/10). It has a nice, spunky, modern and lively sound in my opinion. Currently it is just not so interesting as before.

I like it very much. Which is odd, because I dislike Henry and Harry, and Henrietta.I don't think it needs a nn: it's short and snappy enough already. Henrietta certainly does, but I don't know what it would be.Harriet Daisy and Daisy Harriet both appeal to me; I can't decide between them.

Daisy is my fav name combined with it also.
