I've always hated the name Harriet, but recently it's grown on me. What do you think? Can you suggest combos?

Harriet Gabrielle

or maybe Harriet Anneliese... both are really nice.

You know, I never liked the name Harriet either, but now you're making it grow on ME! Nice work. :D

Harriet Amélie
Harriet Eloise
Harriet Lenore
Harriet Isabel

These are all lovely combinations. Unlike other suggestions, I don't think they would work well with Harriet as the middle name, though.

Jeez, I've got to be creative and think of at least one contribution myself instead of just piping in and picking favorites off of everyone else's suggestion lists!

I like Harriet, but combos I really can't provide.

I should say I rather like the pairing Frances Harriett, though this is, perhaps, because it is my grandmother's name.

Harriet Adele

My second favorite combination suggested in this list. :)

I'm trying to see what other people think before I try to jump over this hurdle--Harriet is a tough name to combine, and I think I like it best as a middle name.

Harriet Phoebe wasn't bad, but if the nickname is Hattie, then you have a first and middle that rhyme--one of my pet peeves. "Hattie Phoebe." Nope, don't like that.
