Our last name is Patrick. If it is a girl, which do you like better:

Harper Patrick or Daphne Patrick?

The middle name will most likely be Reese because that is my middle name and my mom's maiden name. Thanks!

I prefer Daphne Reese Patrick. It's a cute name for a girl, yet sophisticated for a woman.

Harper Reese Patrick is too unisex for my taste. Also the "per' in Harper runs into the "P" in Patrick.

I too vote for Daphne. The P's in Harper and Patrick sound too hard when said together. Daphne Reese Patrick is very cute!

Definitely Daphne! I think it's cute, feminine and unique without being really unusual. I like Harper a lot, too, but agree with pp that the p sounds don't flow as well. I think that it also falls into the unisex trend, which isn't necessarily bad, but it makes it less distinctive than Daphne. :-)

I have to concur- I prefer Daphne Reese Patrick. Harper Reese Patrick is just too R and P heavy for me. I do like Harper, but not with your ln.

I like Harper but I think with your last name that Daphne sounds best. HTH. Angie

I like Daphne and Harper about equally but I agree that Daphne sounds better with your ln.
