Sorry for another name poll. I've been trying to keep my mouth shut about names because I know these posts can get annoying. DH & I have finally agreed on both liking Harper. But I still hesitate. Just wanting some last minute opinions. Her mn would be Anne because it's the same as MIL & SIL.
It's cute, just not my style. The only little Harper I know is a girl (and then of course there is Harper Lee), so I don't really see it as boyish at all.

I think Harper is such a cute name, especially for a girl. My deterrent is that in Canada, our prime minister is Harper and he's a total douche (IMO, lol) but don't let that stop you! I named my son Nixon and I'm sure people from the US think I'm bonkers.

@Laroo0220 Yeah, that makes me a little hesitant as well. Especially with Beckham, Neil P Harris, & Dave Grohl having named their daughter that. However, our other ones we can agree on are also pretty popular. Naming her would be easy if I didn't let DH have a say
I love it, but partial to it since that's what we're naming LO as far as popularity goes, I'm a teacher and don't know any Harpers yet! Of course it varies from place to place, some areas might be swarmed with it- for us it's classes full of Sophia's and Lily's!
Harper is one of 2 names for a girl that DH and I can actually agree on, so I'm a fan! The only thing holding me back is I come from a nickname family and there's no good nickname in my book.

There is a little boy on our street named Harper that is ds's age, so I do think of it as a boy name; but my sister always refers to that little boy as "ds's friend who has the girl name"
I feel your pain. It's been our girl name for 5 years. We have two boys and didn't think we would have any more. Now here we are with #3 and I can't find a name I like as much even though I know it's too popular. To too it off, it's my DH's grandpas name!

Definitely! I thought about that too. Lol Har har? Harp? Harpey? Meh
I love Harper for a girls name, but one of my good guy friends from high schools last name was Harper and that's what I always calle him. Ugh. Now anytime I saw I think of him and it's annoying.
We are naming our daughter Harper Rae. My 5 year old is Graysen Olivia. I really don't care if it is popular or trendy because I love it. My name Melissa was the most popular the year I was born and I rarely run into Melissa's.
I don't really care for it, but I'm not a big fan of many "newer" names. My friend named her son Harper, and calls him Harp. I see it as a unisex name.
Its the Prime Minister here...and a conservative who I have some not nice thoughts about his political views....I would side eye someone naming thier kid Harper...but then I might feel differently if I wasn't in Canada.
We don't live up north or are going to canada anytime soon so I'm not too worried about that. Also I had no idea the PM of Canada was named that. Lol classic ol' American ignorance
