Re: Harriet!
in reply to a message by Kitty
I like it a lot, and don't think it's old-fashioned at all, just classic - but it's been in the top 100 here for at least 10 years, so maybe we're just more used to it.
I might have been a Harriet myself if my cousin hadn't beaten me to it, drat her. She's always Harriet (and very occasionally Hazza) but she has a little namesake who's 4, and called Etty most of the time. Maybe if you wave the option of Etty or Etta or Hatty at him it'll sound more modern. Or maybe get him to watch Harriet the Spy, if he might find little nerdy girls cute.
