Wren, kitchens. Harper, Beckhams.

Wren looks nice written down but when you say it, it's more like a sound than a word, so I wouldn't use it as an actual person's name.

I honestly couldn't choose between the two, I'm afraid.

Kittykatmacbill · 23/01/2017 23:24

Wren is way nicer and Harper always makes me think of to 'harp on' which is hardly a positive attribute...

Pluto30 · 23/01/2017 21:09

there's rumors that Wren is A. I don't know why- it's obvious to me that Tippi the bird faked his own death and has been sending all those texts! 😁

He's one of the my top 3 A picks. Grin

But I secretly hope it's still Mona because I effing love her.

Tippi the bird may now slide into my top picks! Hahaha.

Wren!

Wren is much nicer IMO.

PopGoesTheFuckingWeasel · 23/01/2017 19:59

Actually, my son will thank The Beckhams in later life. I was so determined to have Severus as my son's middle name- until Harper came along. It sounded too much like Seven, and I didn't want to look like I was copying!

Love Wren- but then I'm a huge pll fan...

Derailing, but if Wren doesn't make an appearance in the upcoming season, I'm gonna be mad.

gunting · 23/01/2017 19:14

I prefer Wren, I think Harper is in the top 100 now. I know a few.

Scribblegirl · 23/01/2017 19:13

Love Wren - do it for me, DP would never go for it!

Wren is much nicer.

Harper has been done to death.

Jooni · 23/01/2017 19:02

I like Wren. Cute but tailored.

Melstarrynight · 23/01/2017 18:12

I like wren

HunterHearstHelmsley · 23/01/2017 17:35

Which is ironic.

HunterHearstHelmsley · 23/01/2017 17:35

Wren is gorgeous. Harper sounds like a shop.

SittingDrinkingTea · 23/01/2017 17:33

How about Piper, similar in feel to Harper but no Beckham association.
However Wren is also a lovely name.

I do like Aspen, thanks for the suggestion! Well as Harper Beckham is 7 I didn't think it was still so associated to her but maybe I'm wrong lol x

Wren....?! That's hideous! Please don't name a child that!!!!

TipTop333 · 23/01/2017 16:37

Wren. I knew a baby Wren and it is a beautiful name.

EweAreHere · 23/01/2017 16:10

Wren.

Harper is become more popular because of the Beckhams. I would hate to have looked like I was copying a celebrity's child's name.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 23/01/2017 16:09

Wren.

TheresAlwaysTimeForTea · 23/01/2017 14:42

How about Aspen? Out of the two I prefer Harper. Harper and Aspen are both on our list. I know they're not to everyone's tastes but we can't all be called Clementine now can we!

Mol1628 · 23/01/2017 14:38

Wren. Don't like Harper. People will also think Beckham.
