I have one week till due date and have no idea which name to choose for our girl, Olivia or Harper 😐 Please help which one?! I know the inevitable beckham connection with Harper and also how common Olivia is but I do love them both

Harper. Make her middle name Lee so people don't think you're a fan of the Beckhams

Olivia.

Harper. Olivia has been done to death.

Love Harper.

Olivia.

Don’t like harper. Makes me think of a grump - someone harping in about something.

Olivia definitely. Harper is ghastly.

I think Harper will date badly so for that reason I would choose Olivia.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 02/10/2018 21:25

Olivia. Yes it's over done and Yes she'll be one of about 8 in the school year
However it's also not faddy so will never date.

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 02/10/2018 21:28

I think Harper will date badly Harper Lee was born in 1926 so hardly a fad.

LeeMiller · 02/10/2018 21:28

Olivia is popular but it's a gorgeous,classic name.

Shadow1234 · 02/10/2018 21:31

Harper vote here.

WisestIsShe · 02/10/2018 21:33

Harper. There are two Olivia's in every class!

BabloHoney · 02/10/2018 21:51

Olivia. Gorgeous name. I know it’s number 1 on the baby names list but I don’t know any whereas I know 4 Harpers! (All under 10!)

Fridgedooropen · 02/10/2018 21:53

Olivia. Harper sounds very harsh.

LethalWhite · 02/10/2018 21:54

Harper Lees first name was actually Nelle. Harper was a middle name

MadMaryBoddington · 02/10/2018 22:05

Olivia. Harper is dreadful.
