    Not a fan of Halliet. A friend had a boy name Elliot and she used to refer to him as Helliot when he was not sleeping at all or giving her grief.

    Not sure I like it as a full name but love the name Halle. I know a gorgeous little girl called Halle and of course there is Halle Berry!

    I would always be thinking it was Harriet spelt incorrectly and to me it sounds a bit strange saying out load. Tori Spelling called her little girl Hattie (which I think it usually a nickname for Harriet) which is quite a nice variance

    I don't like it...sorry I love your girls names and attach them to really beautiful girly feminine images but both harriet and halliot i think of more masculine unattractive images

    I like Halle but you might also get 'Hell' for short.
    I laughed out loud at the 'Elliot' being called Helliott comment above. I've got a friend with a boy called Elliott and I've never warmed to the name.
    Sorry to poo poo the name. I think that's why you never tell people your baby name before the baby is born b/c everybody has their 2cents worth.

    I'm happy to have honest responses and if anything it has made it obvious to me how much I love the name because I am undeterred by all of the negativity haha.

    When I hear "Halliet" I think that it's someone with a stong (fake?) Chinese accent saying Harriet. So to me it sounds made-up and rude. Harriet's a gorgeous name, no need to change it!

    Just thinking that I dont like it when it's pronounced like Harriet except with Ls instead of Rs - but if you tweak the pronunciation to Hail-ee-ette it's sounds nicer to my ear - more like Hailey-ette ITMS!

    Ditto.

    But I don't get why you couldn't use it?

    Harriet is number 2 on my list for this baby. So, umm, more names, JF, just for the fun of it!
