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.

Yep, all voted from me too and it's a big YES from me as well... Harriet just seems to be full of character and big personality... I say it's well on it's way to being cool!

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 like Poppy! My friend called her daughter Poppy and while it took me a while to get used to it, now I like it and it really suits her!

I'm reserving judgement, I think it is a name that could grow on someone, especially if the child is rather spunky!
I love Poppy too though!

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 can't imagine Gwyneth yelling down the supermarket aisle "APPLE! GET BACK HERE RIGHT NOW  " *snigger*

And I thought I was the only one shouting out names to see if it will flow quickly. The last thing the poor child needed for me was to get angry and I cant say her name or full name quickly without stumbling over it and making me even more agro. lol.

I like it. I think it's a beautiful name.
I don't like the name Poppy though.

I  it, it would totally suit a Ginger/Al baby! Number 9 is destined to have personality alright!
Not the biggest fan of Poppy, it's a wussy name.

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?

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 
*ducks*
