Dec. 15th, 2007 04:20 pmWhat do you think of the name Harper?
It's not a name option for us right now -- we have our list pretty narrowed down -- but we were watching an episode (one of my FAVORITE episodes, actually) of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit today and the name popped up.
I've thought about using it before, maybe as a middle name, because I personally think it sounds really cute. But I know in the back of my head I would never use it because (A) I've always seen it as the sort of name for a "single birth," because it seems like it would be a hard sibset name, and since we're having multiples, that's out of the question... and (B) I don't think the child would nessecarily be comfortable knowing that I discovered the name from a rape victim on a television show. I know about Harper Lee... and that gives the name points with me, but I stil can't help associate it with the rape victim. Thoughts?
