Well I'm glad that a ginger isn't having a Poppy.

But I have to say that Harriet sounds... ugh.
Sorry, but you asked!!

And then I looked up the meaning and it says "Home Ruler"

So I say go for it! If baby is the oldest (obviously) and a girl (clearly girl=Harriet) and potentially ginger, then "Home Ruler" sounds spot on

Hhhhhhhm, I am so totally unsure. Will sit on the fence for now

Poppy - is what my older sister used to call Paris all the time and i HATED it with a vengeance... it does sound more like a pet name, like candy or honey.

And Harriet brings to mind images of a kid with wonky pigtails and and thick-rimmed glasses. (sorry Ginger! kick me)

Sooooo, what does your man like?]]> Mon, 16 Jun 2008 19:58:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18271&PID=414308&title=help-again-another-blog-poll#414308 <![CDATA[Help! Again.

I LOVE Harriet - it's old school and unique (as in not so popular) without being freaky.

I only skimmed over your HUGE blog post (sorry) but if you're trying out names and not sure if #9 is a he or she you could alternate the names you call "it". That's what we did when Caitlin was possibly a Matthew

Also - a good judge for choosing names is if you can cream it in anger without feeling like a dick then you're pretty safe lol

I reserved my judgement, I reckon Harriet for a spunky wee girl would be cool but you know how some babies have cute names and then you look at their faces and you're like BAM! That sure is one damn ugly baby I'm sure you won't have that problem though

I love the name Harriet, I went to school with a Harriet and she was cool (and blonde).

Poppy is cool too, Jamie Oliver's daughter is called Poppy.

But then again I like classic names (just look at my children's names) and Harriet is a classic name.

I voted yayyyyyyyy for Harriet! I'm a big fan of girls names that can be shortened to boys' names.

There is a chick I know named Harriet that goes by Hari and she rocks aplenty.

And you can have Hannah - it isn't like I have reserved rights on the name! or were you talking about any one of the other Hannahs out there? There's a few! Even another Hannah Elisabeth (though she's Elizabeth)

I have to say - 'tis a pretty cool name

But so is Harriet.

I voted reserve. Love the name but I think it depends on the child itself so we will first have to see if it is a girl.

And btw shouldnt you choose something with an I seeing this is number 9 afterall?

I have a cousin called Harriet. She's about 20-ish. And it totally works, I think she's that much more splendid just because she has such a great name. My Harriet 'owns' her name. I think it's a name that needs to be owned. But based on your blog, any child of yours will be the type to own their name!

I really love Hannah too, but that would be stalking    Especially if it was a redhead!]]> Mon, 16 Jun 2008 12:10:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18271&PID=413857&title=help-again-another-blog-poll#413857 <![CDATA[Help!

I've been thinking about names ... it's keeping me distracted while my wee treasure gives me ongoign heart attacks

I have enormous love for a particular girls name, but I'm a bit torn by the possibility that it may ... you know ... ruin my child's life!

So, I put a poll on my blog, and I'd love your vote!

xo TIA
