Harper sounds really lovely,and obviously you kind of think of Harper Lee, so its sophistocated (i think, anyway).
Its american so i guess thats why the Beckhams were attracted to the name, but maybe for that reason, people might say no.
Its still nicer than any of the top five uk names, so I would go for it.

She would actually be called "Harpernonothafterthemi'vealwaysreallylikedit" Which is, you will agree, a bit of a mouthful.

I like it although the beckhams would put me off a bit, I guess it depends when baby is due, if enough time has passed to not associate it with them.

I really don't like it, Beckhams or no Beckhams. Can you imagine a woman entering a board room and introducing herself as "Harper"?

I can't.

I wouldn't. Sorry.

lisaro · 12/09/2012 09:23

No, think it's a no no because frankly its awful.

I really like it and would use it but I know (or at least presume) I'm in the minority.
