Harper...

If we end up having a boy my husband loves Owen Parker. I can't tell him no because, I kinda love it to.

If we have a girl we are seriously considering Harper, and have thrown around Grace (his grandmas name), Brooklynn, or Kay (My grandma's name & K. was his fathers mid. inital) as middle names.

 

Any other ideas....or which one do you like better?

Harper is very trendy and is more of a boy name to me. Grace, although considered a filler as a mn, is gorgeous as a first name. Brooklynn is also very trendy. Kay is nice. I like Grace the best.

Some suggestions:  Piper, Stella, June, Penelope, Audrey, Gwyneth, Lucia, Ivy, Wren

Harper seems super-trendy to me.  

I like the family connection you have for Kay, even though I'm not a fan of one-syllable names.

I don't mind Harper. I would use Grace or Kay. I really dislike Brooklyn in general but it also doesn't flow well with Harper IMO.

I vote Grace. Gooorgeous.

Harper is entirely too trendy. Brooke is nice but Brooklyn is an area of NYC. I've never liked Kay.

Owen Parker is great!!

Harper is a little trendy for my taste. I really dislike Brooklyn. Grace and Kay are nice.

I kind of like Harper because it reminds me of Harper Lee.  Either Grace or Kay would be a nice middle name because of the family significance.  Brooklynn screams "I love trendy names and have never actually been to Brooklyn" to me.

I like the boy name. I have never been a fan of Harper, I would keep looking. Grace and Kay are both very common middle names, but they are nice.

I like Owen Parker, but Harper and Brooklyn are trendy, especially Harper, it is so over done these days.

I've never understood Harper as a girl name, and I definitely find it to be trendy.  I like girl names to sound feminine, and Harper sounds masculine.

Grace is nice, and I like Brooke (without the Lynn) for a first name.

And your boy name is very nice!

IMHO Harper is not very feminine sounding;  and to me its a last name, not a first...I love Kay

Hate Harper, sorry OP.  I find it to be a really ugly name.  Grace is lovely, and Owen is great.

I know four little girls who were born this summer with the name Harper.  So long as you don't mind it's rising popularity, go for it.

Well, looks like we don't need the name Harper after all....

 

Owen Parker will be here in May :)

Oh my. I'm sorry, I am SO incredibly sick of hearing Harper. This became SO trendy very quickly. I would avoid this name like the plague. There will be so many little Harpers and the name will be date stamped.

Well the reason I liked it so much was because I thought it was unique and different...and have never heard of anyone else being named this.

 

But apparently, it's more popular in other places than here....
