Baby Names

Harper or Harlow?

We decided to name our daughter Harper Grace, which we love.  I just remembered the name Harlow, and I can't figure out it I like it or not.  It's intriguing to me for some reason. 

What are your thought's on Harlow?

    I would prefer Harper over Harlow. I think you should go with a name you love,  not one that you  cant decide if you like or love.

    I know, I haven't even mentioned Harlow to my husband.  The more I think about it, the more I don't think I like it.  Just wanted to get some opinions on it, because it's a name my mom kept suggesting way back when I found out we were pregnant.  Didn't know if I was missing something.  Thanks for the input!

    I like Harper a lot.  Harlow doesn't sound at all feminine to me.

    Harlot

    This.

    Unfortunately, yes, that's what I think of too.

  • I love both names. I can't say I really prefer one over the other. I would say, though, that you should stick with the name you've chosen unless your H also wants to switch it to Harlow. They're similar enough names that changing your choice feels like a wash.

  • I much prefer Harlow. I hate that Nicole Richie named her daughter this because I would be afraid everyone would think I named my daughter after her, but I still really like the name.

  • I prefer Harlow-- Harper is super trendy right now and I know many little girls named Harper.  I don't know any Harlows.

  • We had both of these names on our short list. My vote is for Harlow, I am with you there is something very interesting about this name that I can't put my finger on.
