Harriet M. Welsch is the name of the title character in Louise Fitzhugh's classic children's novel Harriet the Spy. The only child of upper-middle-class New Yorkers, Harriet has a spy route and writes "everything about everyone" in her composition notebook. When her classmates discover the sometimes cruel things she's written down, Harriet becomes a pariah in her class. The book is a classic for its honest characters and its refusal to talk down to its readers.
A film was made of the book in 1996, starring Michelle Trachtenberg as Harriet and Rosie O'Donnell as her wise nurse, Ole Golly.-- WeloveyouJesseLacey 5/31/2006

I love this name. It's so classic, elegant, and feminine, and at the same time it could easily suit a little girl. Plus, it's not too common anymore, surprisingly, which makes it all the more appealing.-- trayc53 8/21/2006

I adore Harriet. It's so regal and classy but still really fun. I can see it on a spunky two-year-old and a sweet old grandma.-- Katesy 7/28/2007
I love this name. But to the anonymous above PLEASE don't call your twins Harry and Harriet.-- xxlaurasxx 9/25/2007
It sounds too much like Harry, quite frankly. I don't find it pretty at all.-- slight night shiver 5/31/2008
I cannot believe that no one has mentioned Harriet the Spy yet! A lot of people have read that.-- egyptianpanda 6/4/2008
My cousin's name is spelled Harriett, just to be awkward, but I prefer it with the double t. Somehow it just doesn't look complete without it anymore!-- Holl1303 10/30/2008
Sorry, but I've never really liked Harriet. I've always thought it sounded too masculine.-- erb816 4/14/2009
In my book of Christian names, the name Harriet means "woman of the home", which I think is nice. :)-- walesgal92 4/19/2009

I love the name Harriet. It's elegant, classy, unique and would fit both young girls and old women perfectly.-- Anonymous User 5/25/2010
I personally really dislike this name. If someone were to ask your kid if they were Harriet, then it would sound like they're saying "Are you hairy yet?" I strongly advise you to not name your kid this.-- megi99 5/30/2010
I used to find this name stuffy and annoying, but recently it's become my favourite girl's name.-- Anonymous User 6/19/2010

I used to not like it, but now I think it's nice!-- Chrila96 8/1/2010
Harriet is a very beautiful name and the fact it means warrior princess is really cool, it's my sisters name and I used to call her Harriet because she liked her full name but now she likes Harrie because she is older and personally I don't think it is as nice a name. I always get reminded of 'Harriet the Spy' the film and a book about a girl called Harriet learning trombone even though it is hard for her because she is only 8 and she is very persistent. I love that that is what I think of!-- Livvyxxx 5/31/2011
