Harper was on my list as my favourite book is To Kill A Mockinbird - I'm due my first DC early next year. Needless to say, it's been crossed off the list Hmm

At least I still have Holden for a boy (Hubby's choice - from the only book he's actually read all the way through!)

chillistars · 11/07/2011 18:23

It's not what I expected at all, and not what I'd choose but it's OK....seven is a bit weird though

"Harper sounds like a surname. "

Well it is, isn´t it?

"Super naff, "

I wouldn´t called it naff, it´s a recognised name-unless you mean the "Seven"

katkitya · 11/07/2011 18:15

You orrible lot. It's not naff at all. If you lived in the States you wouldn't think that.

Astonmartinis · 11/07/2011 18:07

Half past seven? Optimum conception time for Posh?

Doozie · 11/07/2011 17:56

Super naff, but to be expected!

Harper sounds like a surname.
Makes me think of a harpoon.
Rhymes with viper.
Basically bleugh.

GeneralDreedlesNurse · 11/07/2011 17:46

Could have been worse they could have called her Blake instead of Harper Smile

RunAwayWife · 11/07/2011 17:43

At least Victoria did not have to worry about anyone "stealing" the name.
I like Harper TBH

katkitya · 11/07/2011 17:38

I hate the sly digs implying that they are thick. "oh, they wouldn't get harpies, they won't be Seinfeld fans blah, blah" no wonder they aren't coming back to the uk. I bet they don't encounter any snobbery where they are. I'm thinking of that awful schools thread as well.

IamtheSnorkMaiden · 11/07/2011 17:23

My first reaction was 'the poor child' but actually after a moment to let it sink in I don't mind it so much. I've heard far worse.

Wait till she hits 8 years old and starts denying she's Seven..

bigbuttons · 11/07/2011 16:50

girl's even

DontCallMePeanut · 11/07/2011 16:50

Harpeia would just be plain EVIL! Shock

ensure · 11/07/2011 16:50

Harper is a nice name. DD has a friend called Harper.
Seven is a bit weird, but it means something to her dad so that's quite sweet. And maybe they really are Seinfeld fans!

bigbuttons · 11/07/2011 16:46

Her name is going to be the least of that girls problems.

MelinaM · 11/07/2011 16:39

Yes, it's still Harper's Bazaar Grin

I doubt they've even heard of 'Harpies' Don'tCallMe!!! Grin I've a feeling that 'Harpeia' may start to catch on soon thoughWink

I couldn't give a fart's arse what she's called. But did anybody really expect her to be called Chloe (or something...)?

Bandwithering · 11/07/2011 16:32

I think this proves once and for all that Victoria is not a mumsnetter

BearBehavingBadly · 11/07/2011 16:32

I like Harper.
Wonder if VB was looking at the other thread, where we were guessing what she would call her new daughter.
I put a few names down & one of those was Harper Grin

shonnomanom · 11/07/2011 16:29

I like Harper, its reminds me of the girl in Wizards of Waverley Place

Not sure about Seven as a name, but they usually pick odd stuff for their kids names dont they. At least Harper has it as a middle name and not first name. That would be so much worse!

jasminder1 · 11/07/2011 16:20

Sounds like a naval vessel IMO!

DontCallMePeanut · 11/07/2011 16:07

Harper reminds me of harpies... violent winged women from greek mythology... Hmm

diddl · 11/07/2011 15:52

Maybe VB also liked the connection to Harper´s Bazaar?

(is it still called that?)
