I would think Charlie Haper from 2 and a half men

How bizarre! I always thought Harper Lee was a man. Now I find she was a woman!! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harper_Lee

I would have thought boy, but since this thread, girl!!

Girl, southern American (Harper Lee), oldish southern money. And also what BunnyLebowski said

upahill · 23/12/2009 16:22

Harper Hill the male actor in CSI New York who plays Sheldon Hawkes

TheFallenMadonna · 23/12/2009 16:23

I'd wait and see. Could easily be either.

ChickensHaveNoTinsel · 23/12/2009 16:24

I'd think surname, and then boy, and then the same as Bunny.

Rindercella · 23/12/2009 16:24

Girl - Harper Lee

MIFLAW · 23/12/2009 16:28

Boy, like the Marx Brother.

TheFallenMadonna · 23/12/2009 16:29

Wasn't he Harpo?

mathanxiety · 23/12/2009 16:30

I would also think Harpic.

ReindeerInaSkoda · 23/12/2009 16:30

Another Harper Lee (thus girl) vote here.

I like it.

MIFLAW · 23/12/2009 16:31

Well my post at 16.22pm was slightly inaccurate. The actors name is Hill Harper. But even sothat's what I would think off if I heard the name Harper.

SmacOnTheLipsUnderTheMistletoe · 23/12/2009 20:23

boy - like woowa I always thought Harper Lee was a man! How educating MN is!

thisisyesterday · 23/12/2009 20:28

i would think girl, and i think it's a FABULOUS name!
i had it on my girl's list for dc3 until dp vetoed it lol

melpomene · 23/12/2009 20:32

I also thought Harper Lee was a man

MeAndMyMonkey · 23/12/2009 20:33

I would think girl - it's dd's middle name so natch i am biased and love it!
(Of course after Harper Lee)
But not offended if anyone doesn't like it, c'est la vie.

upafrozenhill · 23/12/2009 21:35

Those of you who thought that Harper Lee was a man quite clearly haven't seen the fabulous films 'In cold blood' and 'Capote.' Harper Lee was one of Truman Capote's closest friends.

SmacOnTheLipsUnderTheMistletoe · 23/12/2009 21:42

Not only have I not seen those films I have never heard of them. I did read TKAMB at school but clearly didn't pay much attention.

bruffin · 23/12/2009 21:51

It's a name of a character (girl) in Wizards of Waverly Place on Disney, along with Harper Lee I would think girl.

CantSleepWontSleep · 23/12/2009 21:52

I'd think surname and wonder whether the parents were insane.
