Here's my attempt at a shortlist:
Elizabeth Harriet (Beth)
Katherine Harriet (Kate)
Fleur Harriet
Anya Harriet
Martha Harriet
Ellen Harriet
Emma Harriet
Lydia Harriet
Megan Harriet
Anna Harriet
Surname is 2 syllables and sounds a bit like Warmsea!

Any loves...hates...alternatives please?

Ellen Harriet is my favourite on that list, somehow the two names seem to go together really well and would go well with your surname too I think.

Really don't think that Megan or Anya go well with Harriet.

Elizabeth Harriet (Beth) - meh (dislike Beth as mn)
Katherine Harriet (Kate) - have always been fond of Katherine
Fleur Harriet - I want to like it, but I don't
Anya Harriet - LOVE this name.
Martha Harriet - Nooooooooo
Ellen Harriet - Like it.
Emma Harriet - Emma is SO common though
Lydia Harriet - Sort of like it
Megan Harriet - Nooooo. Also very common these days.
Anna Harriet - meeeeeeeeh. Overall I dislike.

So my personal preference therefore is:

Anya
Katherine
Ellen

No so fond of the rest.

My favourites are Elizabeth, Katherine, Martha and Anna. I also love Harriet - could it be a first name?

Yes, SillyTillyBilly could be Harriet as a first name. Forgot to mention that!
Thoughts on Harriet as well please!
