I love Piper

Piper. But mainly because I'm an Orange is the new black fan.
I like both though. I think it depends what goes best with your surname or other sibling names if you really can't choose between the two

A bit too American for me. There are much nicer names out there.

I loved Harper until Vicky and Dave had one.

I would go for Piper I think

Just about to say the same as the PP. I loved Harper and wanted to use it myself, until the Beckhams used it Sad

Piper because I'm a Charmed fan.

I'd like Harper more if the Beckhams hadn't used it. They've tainted it imo.

Harper.

Yes, I just think of the Beckhams now, and would assume people are copying.

Piper is nice.

Piper, as it sounds nicer than Harper to me. Also, the Beckham connection would put me off choosing Harper.

They’re both revolting, sorry!
But I’d sooner call my child after an acclaimed author than a drug mule, so it would be Harper for me.

Scrumptiousbears · 25/02/2018 07:39

Neither. I'd never use a name a celeb has chosen. It just screams of chaviness. Piper also sounds like your are trying too hard. Sorry.

Harper sounds like a dog name to me, sorry.

Piper is quite nice

Both are equally awful. Sorry.

I don’t like either, but Harlow always sounds nicer than Harper, to my ear.
