My husband's co-worker's girlfriend just had her baby girl and named her Harper Jean. Father's name is Chris, don't know mom's name.

I think it's a nice name, I like literary names.

ETA: My older sister also had a baby boy, named Bennett George. He joins big brother Ronin Josef. Parents are Jen and Brad.

Not a fan of Bennett, it's so trendy and I think of it as more of a last name.

I can't stand the name Harper! I think it sounds so ugly, and it makes me sad when there are so many gorgeous girls' names out there.

I love Harper. I'm not to fond of Jean, it's just not my style, but it sounds ok with Harper.

I completely agree with you about Bennett. I like Ronin and Josef.

While I don't dislike Harper its the first name in the top 100 that has me scratching my head wondering how it got to be so popular.

I don't think the literacy connection boosted it at all, rather Posh & Becks.

-B names clash with my surname but I think Bennett would be my top pick, I love the Jane Austen connection. I love George.

I love Ronan, I haven't seen the spelling Ronin before. I think they're a nice sibset together.

Same here. It's so harsh sounding. Harper, that harpy harping with a harpoon. Everyone else seems to love it, though..
