Baby Names

WDYT of Harper

What do you girls think of the name Harper for a girl.

We are thinking either Catherine or Kay for the middle name.

 Our DS' name is Cooper.

Is that too many "er" sounds or too matchy matchy to name our kids?

Thanks

Re: WDYT of Harper

  • I really like Harper a lot, with either middle name.

  • LOVE IT! 

     

    I like it when sibs have matchy match names!  My boys are Logan and Hudson... if we have another I'm think of Tristan or Ronin...  all end with a matching "in" sound!!

  • It's a cute name, but as the mother of a Cooper myself, I probably wouldn't use it because of the semi-matchiness. Do you like Catherine Harper at all?

    BTW, your bump name totally threw me off.  My Cooper's birthday is 10/21/2007, so for a second I thought they had the same name and birthday.

  • I LOVE Harper. It was on my original list but was nixed by DH.  I do no think that the names are too "matchy" either.

  • I love the name Harper- It was already decided on as our girl name.  But we are having a boy- so if we do ever have a girl, she will be Harper.  I personally don't find it to be too trendy-- I am a teacher and have never seen a Harper come through my school of 700 students in the 8 years I have worked there.  I am a huge literary person and To Kill a Mockingbird is my favorite book, hence...Harper.

  • Yes

    harper and cooper are kinda cutesy together, but not horrible.

  • I love it!!  That's one of our top girl names, too!!
  • Not a fan of Harper, but I went to HS with a girl named Harper and she was ugly to everyone.

  • If Ezra would have been a girl, the name we choose was Harper Jane, and will use this if our next is a girl

  • I love Harper. ?I do think it is getting a little trendy, but not overused as far as I can tell. ?I think Catherine or Kay both work as middle names. ?No, I don't think Harper and Cooper are too matchy. ?Congrats on the baby girl!
  • Harper is trend-i-rific if you ask me. ?DH loves the name and I vetoed it because it's just getting overused.

  • I LOVE Harper for a girl. 
  • I really like Harper.  I think it's "trendy" in the sense that a lot of people like it, but I don't think a lot of people are actually using it.  I just looked and only 1000 babies were named Harper last year...out of 4 million.  And I don't think it's too matchy will your little boy.
  • Harper is fine.  It is a little matchy matchy though.

  • I hate it.  It makes me think of a harpy.
  • I love it, but I don't really like it with Cooper.  It's like you're giving all your kids last names or something and I think you'll have trouble with people knowing if you have 2 boys, 2 girls, or one of each. 

    Catherine Harper is beautiful though!
