[name_u]Harper[/name_u]!

I think [name_u]Harper[/name_u] [name_f]Thelma[/name_f] is sweet, and it would let you use both names!

Otherwise…
[name_u]Harper[/name_u] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_u]Harper[/name_u] [name_f]Joy[/name_f]
[name_u]Harper[/name_u] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]

[name_u]Harper[/name_u] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]

I really love [name_f]Thelma[/name_f]! it sounds super pretty, especially with [name_u]Alma[/name_u] rising in popularity at the moment! To me, [name_u]Harper[/name_u] is a very trendy name and might feel outdated in a few years whereas I think [name_f]Thelma[/name_f] is due its comeback and you would be ahead of the curve! Maybe something like [name_f]Thelma[/name_f] [name_f]Renee[/name_f] for a middle?

[name_u]Harper[/name_u]! I think she’s preppy choice with an upbeat sound and I like the [name_u]Harper[/name_u] [name_u]Lee[/name_u] association. Whereas [name_f]Thelma[/name_f] just feels so clunky.

You’ve had a few suggestions so count any repeats as me being in agreement with the berries

[name_u]Harper[/name_u] [name_f]Maxine[/name_f]. I’m not as big of a fan of [name_f]Thelma[/name_f], but I do like [name_f]Velma[/name_f]. :sparkling_heart:

I really like [name_f]Thelma[/name_f] and I’m certain that’s it’s ready for a comeback!
I’m neutral on [name_u]Harper[/name_u]. I used to love it for a girl at first, but now it’s just super overdone and boring, I even prefer it for a boy now

These two are so so different! I like both, but I have to vote for [name_f]Thelma[/name_f].

I think [name_u]Harper[/name_u] is feeling a little overdone at this point, whereas [name_f]Thelma[/name_f] feels quirky and retro and totally ready for a hipster revival! I’m already starting to see it catch on among très chic [name_u]French[/name_u] parents, so I think it’s only a matter of time before it crosses the pond. But I don’t see it reaching anywhere near the popularity level of [name_u]Harper[/name_u], so it will retain that offbeat vibe.

There’s also the fabulous [name_f]Thelma[/name_f] and [name_u]Louise[/name_u] connection!

The two names are so different, I would honestly make a decision based on what other names you like so that I could build a cohesive sibset later on. But that’s just me.

[name_f]Thelma[/name_f]! Although I do like [name_u]Harper[/name_u] :slight_smile:

[name_f]Thelma[/name_f]! It’s spunky and a bit different. [name_u]Harper[/name_u] is way too common rn.

[name_f]Thelma[/name_f] - it was my great grandma’s name. It’s retro and sassy.

[name_f]Thelma[/name_f]! It’s so retro and fun, [name_u]Harper[/name_u] feels pretty overdone at this point it’s cute but I feel like every other baby girl announcement I see her name is [name_u]Harper[/name_u]. There’s a singer named Themla [name_f]Plum[/name_f] hitch usually I’m not a fan of [name_f]Plum[/name_f] but I love that. Here’s some other middles~
