We got the news today we are having a girl! I need help deciding between these two:

Harper

Presley

Which do you like better...and what is a pretty feminine middle name?

Thank you!

Harper, by far. I realize it's technically unisex, being a profession/musical name and all, but it still has a very soft, feminine feel IMO. Presley just conjures up images of Elvis -- not feminine in the least LOL -- and I half expect the little tyke to curl up his or her lip and give me "ah-thank you, baby. Ah-ahhh-ha."

I love Harper. It can be adorable on a little girl, reminds me of Harper Lee. Presley is almost the opposite, I can only think of Elvis. I don't think it is an attractive name at all.

Harper Elizabeth
Harper Camille
Harper Simone
Harper Felice
Harper Jane
Harper Diane

Harper by a mile. :) I love "To Kill a Mockingbird," author Harper Lee.

Presley just makes me think of Elvis or Lisa Marie, so nms.

AJ, enjoying life with C.

I think Alyssa would be a good middle name for either! Tammie

How about Harper LeAnn. Since a lot have not liked Presley, I thought that maybe you could change the spelling. Sometimes that helps me. I won't like a name at all when I see it spelled a certain way, but love it spelled another.
For Presley, other ways to spell it could be:
Presleigh (favorite spelling)
Presli
Pressly
Preslee

Anyway, I like either one, but would actually lean towards Presley, if you spelled it Presleigh or Presli. The Presli spelling is similar to Lesli, in which some people pronounce it more like Lezli. You could do that for anyway you spelled Presley. I think that would be absolutely precious. Middle names could be:
Presleigh Nicole
Presli Danielle
Presley Rose
Pressly Dawn
Preslee Jayne

Hope I helped, Felicia

Congratulations!

We just found out that we are having a girl as well.

I love the name Harper. Unfortunatley I can't use it because it is on my sister's short list.

Not knowing the last name of the child it is difficult to judge the fluidity of the full name, but I think Rosalie flows nicely with Harper.

We are contemplating the names Scarlett, Rosalie and Naomi right now, but nothing seems to really stick with me at the moment.

Best of luck!
