I think I've fallen in love with Harper.....
I was initially so disappointed about Matilda but Harper just feels right.
What do you all think to N o a h and Harper?
The only other name I like is Summer. N o a h and Summer?
Could you call a baby Summer if she is born outside of the May to August timeframe? As that worries me that people will pass comment about it.

Why of the two names do you prefer and why?

Thank you!

Love Summer and Harper. But I couldn't personally use Harper after the Beckhams did.

Moongirl10 · 21/04/2020 23:56

I think they are both beautiful, but would go with Harper.

IdblowJonSnow · 21/04/2020 23:55

Prefer Summer of the two.

Not keen on Summer. I like Harper, but it's been claimed by the Beckhams so that alone would make it a no for me

I think Matilda goes better with Noah.
They're both classic names, Harper will sound out of date in a couple of years.

I know someone with both a summer and harper.. love the names

I know a summer who ismt a summer baby. I've never thought anything of it, its just a name, I opulent let that influence me. I also know a Harper, older than most if the Harpers you hear if who are all young children, this one is a male, it was originally a male or at least unisex name. It's much more common in girls now of course. Both names go with noah so whichever feels right. I fo like Matilda (tilly) though too.

Don’t like Summer or Harper personally- think they are faddy.

I love both Harper and Summer and think both work well with Noah
It doesn’t matter when a baby is born. Anyone can be called Summer.
Summer Winter and Autumn have all become fairly mainstream names now and sound more like a name rather than a season to me now I’ve met a couple - lovely
