I like both of those names. I personally love the name Harper for a baby.
Oooh, me too. Fantastic name. I love those names where you can't immediately identify the sex, but aren't common names like Kelly and Kerry. That's part of the reason I picked Clancy for my daughter.
Stiv, the reason I asked about her maiden name is because that's an old tradition, particularly in the south. A child is given the mother's maiden name as a first name. I'd love to name a son Patterson Pfau, but I don't like the nickname Pat for a boy. I guess we could call him Sonny. Jake would totally love that for the Godfather inference (filing away for future reference). Hehe. Just to complete the lesson, in the north, the mother's maiden name used to be commonly added as a fourth name, in either the 2nd or 3rd position. Women usually dropped it upon marriage, keeping their own maiden name.
Anyway, have y'all decided yet?
