It's a skosh trendy for me since surnames/occupational names are hot right now, and it seems like all things To Kill A Mockingbird are, too. (Seriously, I totally expect to see a baby Boo Radley at any point.) But it's an appealing name, and Harper Lee gives it a strong role model. I'd pair it with something more feminine, though, since it is technically unisex. Everything you listed is a bit too masculine/unisex to feel like a good balance to me, except Pippa, which I have a hard time viewing as a given name. (It's cute...but it's CUTE. I'm not really into cute legal names.) Harper Philippa would be INCREDIBLE, though.

Ok so I love th ename Harper but I really don't like it with any of the middle names you chose. You need a femine, classic middle name to it out. Isn't Harper Grace your username?? I like that together!!

I love Harper! Great choice. For a middle name, I'd use a one syllable name that won't compete with the first name. I love Tatum, but it may detract from the first name.

I agree, I like Harper Grace (your user name). I think Harper is lovely, but unusual and very strong sounding (not a bad thing imo);

Oh Thanks for the mn suggestions. I really am in love with the name Harper. I have yet to meet one, though. From your list, I like Harper Elisabeth, that's really cute. And Harper Madeleine, spelled this way. Thanks again.

I agree with everyone who liked your user name--Harper Grace. I also agree that the mn should be more feminine sounding.

Harper Ann
Harper Elizabeth
Harper Elise

Good luck!
