I really like Harriet, though I don't think it fits that well with Arabella either. I like both names but find Harriet more usable in everyday life. I love it with the nn Harri :-)

---

I like:
Cara
Leila (prefer Layla)
Zahra (prefer Zara)
Anouk (prefer Annika)
Annabelle in that spelling
Evelyn

What does everyone think of the name Harriet?
I'm not a big fan of Harriet, but I've got a bias view on Hattie. :)

Josephine -like
Cara -prefer Clara or Kara
Leila -love it when pro. like Lyla / Lila.

I'm thinking Arabella, Araminta, Aravinda, and Aragorn.
Just kidding...I think I've even told you that before...or someone.
Anything classy and forgotten would go nicely with it.

Any name with Hairy in it is going to be tough for a girl. It also seems awfully prim and proper. I could envision a Harriet being dowdy or conservative or sweet . . . safe basically. Not exactly the kind of name that brings to mind ravishing beauty or intrigue or excitement.

From your list, I like Josephine, Annabel and Jacinta and prefer Zara to Zahra.

I like Harriet and Josephine alot.

Harriet's great--I've loved it ever since I read Harriet the Spy. (I especially like it with the nickname Etta, but I seem to be alone in that.) Don't worry if it doesn't "fit" with Arabella; children aren't supposed to match like quilt squares.

I really love Josephine, Leila (LAY-lah only!), Zara (not so much on Zahra), Evelyn (prefer nn Evvy "EH-vee"), and Jacinta. Cara and Annabel both really annoy me, and Anouk is ugly as sin to my ears.

I don't care for Harriet, as I find it very ugly sounding. I think nearly all names (expect those theme-y) work in a sibling set, so I think Harriet and Arabella work fine for siblings. From the other names, I like Annabelle (this spelling only).

Check out my profile for my PP's names.

I absolutely, positively, CANNOT stand it, sorry, It's incredibly ugly and harsh-sounding. And you're right, it doesn't go with Arabella.

Josephine-nmsAA
Cara-don't like
Leila-LOVE when properly pronounced as LAY-luh
Zahra-okay without the 'h' (Zara), the 'h' looks very odd
Anouk-hate
Annabel-love
Evelyn "Evie"-growing on me, but I prefer the nicknames Eve or Eva.
Jacinta-HATE HATE HATE with a passion
