While we're doing baby names, rank/react/expound upon the following (for a girl): Harper, Alia, Larsen, Emerson, Dagny, Parker, Charlotte, Ellis - Dr.Vermin Jul 12, 12:05 19
- Like: Harper or Charlotte. I know boys with all the other names except Alia and Dagny (and those do not sound like real names). -- nm - Spawn Jul 12, 12:25 1
  - Alia Shawkat! (Maeby Funke!) -- nm - Andie Jul 12, 13:03
- Alia? As in inter alia? -- nm - Roger More Jul 12, 12:22 1
  - Also, in Australia, dag means 'dried up sheep droppings stuck to the wool around a sheep's butt', as well as a generic word for 'doofus' -- nm - Roger More Jul 12, 12:40
- I very much like Harper, Alia, Parker and Charlotte. -- nm - David Jul 12, 12:13 2
  - This. -- nm - Krusty Jul 12, 12:19
  - seeing them listed here made me think that the last name has to be considered, too. - b. Jul 12, 12:16
- harper, larsen, emesron, parker, ellis. none of those come across as feminine to me. charlotte (cause I've always liked char), alia, dagny -- nm - dogbert Jul 12, 12:12 1
  - agreed on those first ones being masculine, in fact, my brother's middle name is Emerson (as was a grandfather) -- nm - zork Jul 12, 12:36
- Charlotte.....Parker...................Harper ..................the rest -- nm - kelly Jul 12, 12:09
- likely nicknames are important to consider for some of those. charlie/emmy/elle or ellie? cute. harpy/parky/dag? notsocute. -- nm - b. Jul 12, 12:08 3
  - in "look at me" charlotte shortens to "chari" which I *love.* -- nm - amanda, dell Jul 12, 12:10
  - My brother's girlfriend is Charlotte...but she goes by Lottie. -- nm - Jim Jul 12, 12:10 1
    - both of the above are cute, too. :) - (also consider pop culture characters with the names and songs, oh, songs.) -- nm - b. Jul 12, 12:12
- harper is too posh spice right now. I love charlotte as well. parker's played out and masculine to boot. I like larsen a fair bit. dagny? no. ellis? - amanda, dell Jul 12, 12:08
- Ellis is my mom's middle name because it was her father's first name. -- nm - nubby, Astro-lord Jul 12, 12:08
- I like Parker and Charlotte -- nm - amoxy Jul 12, 12:06
- Best to worst: Charlotte (i love this name). Parker. Harper............ Emerson. Alia. Ellis. Dagny. -- nm - Andie Jul 12, 12:06 1
  - this. -- nm - loosilu Jul 12, 12:39
