Which would you go for??
Also what middle name would you choose.
I like India (as it’s where me and other half met, but I’m not sure it’s working 😬
Last name is Harpin.
Ideas?
Thank you!!

Anna Rachel Harpin sounds good to me!

Livingmagicallyagain · 12/07/2019 20:26

Rachel India Harpin is just beautiful! Something really special about it!

PCohle · 12/07/2019 20:27

I prefer Anna. I think Rachel is a bit 90s.

SophiaLarsen · 12/07/2019 20:32

I think Rachel works better with your last name.

Rachel Louise is lovely.

Shelbybear · 12/07/2019 21:09

I like Rachel best from your list.

I love Rachel India! It has a lovely rhythm to it and every Rachel I have met has been effortlessly cool, even the less pleasant ones, (I know a lot of Rachels)!

Anna Grace Harpin sounds beautiful.

MilenaMay · 12/07/2019 23:02

Anna

I'm sorry but I think Rachel is dated to the 80s-90s (eg friends)

Tillygetsit · 12/07/2019 23:09

Anna Rachel 😊

Shadow1234 · 12/07/2019 23:22

Another vote for Rachel India

MsMustDoBetter · 12/07/2019 23:37

Anna is so beautiful.

Watersnail · 12/07/2019 23:51

Rachel India Harpin sounds lovely, so look no further!

Love Rachel. Strong, classic name which is due a comeback. If the idea of 'Rach' bothers you, then Rae is an alternative nickname.
Rachel also sounds lovely with India as a middle name.
