All through my pregnancy my husband and I have been set on [name]Ava[/name] for our daughters first name, but recently we started to take a liking to [name]Harper[/name]. Now I’m torn! Our last name is [name]Malcolm[/name] and the middle name will be [name]Elizabeth[/name]. Which do you prefer:
[name]Ava[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Malcolm[/name]
[name]Harper[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Malcolm[/name]?
Any feedback is much appreciated!
[name]Ava[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] and [name]Harper[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] are both beautiful names. I really love [name]Ava[/name]. [name]Harper[/name] is a great name b/c it makes me think of the author of the novel To Kill a Mockingbird, [name]Harper[/name] [name]Lee[/name].
[name]Both[/name] great name choices.
I prefer [name]Ava[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name], which is beautiful! I keep seeing [name]Harper[/name] and I really want to like it (especially because of [name]Harper[/name] [name]Lee[/name]), but it always reminds me of “harpy” and “harping”. Not a good association, imo, and I just can’t get past it.
[name]Ava[/name], it’s much less trendy than [name]Harper[/name].
[name]Ava[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] is beautiful. [name]Harper[/name] isn’t attractive to me at all.
Thanks so much! I was leaning toward [name]Ava[/name] and this was really reassuring. I love [name]Harper[/name] but I feel it’s a bit masculine, especially with our last name. Thanks again 
100% [name]Ava[/name]!!!
I like [name]Ava[/name] more. I’ve always loved [name]Harper[/name] and was on our short list with each of our boys if one of them had been a girl, but after [name]Milo[/name] was born my [name]SIL[/name] named her daughter [name]Harper[/name] so it became unusable for us. [name]Ava[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] sounds gorgeous!
[name]Ava[/name] is much more elegant, classy, and timeless than [name]Harper[/name] — a new “celebrity/trendy” name that is rising quickly in popularity, will probably fade fast, and will become dated in a few years.
It also gives you more versatility when it comes to nicknames. [name]Harp[/name] and Harpie are quite awful.
[name]Ava[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Malcolm[/name].
