Harper is actually my maiden name. (it's weird to think of it as a first name (after having it for a last name all those years), but it has grown on me too).
I have an aversion to names that end in "-er" because it just clicks in my head as "one who ____" (so Harper = "one who harps," Parker = "one who parks," etc.). There are definitely a lot worse names out there, though, and I can't say I hate it.
I like the name Harper...but for a boy. I guess it is a name like Marley...can be for either boy or girl. We have a couple of Harper's in our family and they are boys (family name).
Re: A few of you suggested Harper for a girl a while back and
LOVE Harper June.
Great combo.
I like! I like it for both a boy or a girl.
