Help[Opinions] Harper
I enjoy learning about names on this site, and i especially enjoy reading comments on names. obviously, there will always be good and bad comments, more of one or the other depending on the name. Normally, I can understand and often agree with the general comments left on a name.
Recently I have had the name Harper on my mind...the comments on this site regarding Harper...they are shocking! the hatred the people of this site seem to feel towards Harper was something i was not expecting, nor can i understand. To me, Harper is a beautiful name that i appreciate, for either gender too. the harp is such a lovely instrument, it is so difficult to master but once one does it sounds BEAUTIFUL. and Harper Lee, who i believe is the reason Harper became popular, wrote a book that is important and i think everyone should read at least once. a lot of the complaints i see is that harper is a boy name, not a girl name, but i would have to disagree. it was barely ever used for boys ever, and it seems only in the u.s. too. it wasn't until recently that it shot up for both genders in popularity. all of the Harpers i have ever met are under 20. also, many are saying that harper sounds harsh- but i would have to politely disagree! i think it sounds beautiful, and it brings to mind lovely harp melodies.
i was just wondering if anyone here could explain to me why Harper is so disliked? Thanks!
