Which two do you prefer together?

BEFORE ANSWERING, READ THIS:

Where I live, in the UK, Harper is seen as a masculine/boys name. Regardless of whether it is feminine where you live, it isn't where I am so any answers saying "omigosh Harper's so girly he'd egt bullied!!!1!" will just be TD'd. Please try to take this into account when answering. Thank you :)

Also, I am not looking for opinions on Elias, or any of the middle names, or the fact that there are two middle names. Please just stick to Harper and Jasper!

Now, I want to know which of these potential sibsets you prefer:

1.

Harper Nathaniel Grey

& Elias Finley Jasper

2. Jasper Nathaniel Grey

& Elias Finley Harper

[Elias is ee-LY-us]

I'm tied between Harper and Jasper for first place on my list, and I can't choose between them! If I choose Harper as my #1, Jasper has to be ruled out as a first name because they're way too similar for brothers unfortunately :( Likewise, if I choose Jasper as my #1, Harper must be ruled out as a first name.

Please, if you can, explain why you chose the set you did. "Harper is too girly" will not be considered a valid reason. The more of an explanation you give, the higher your chance of getting BA.

Thanks :)

Update:

As promised, Thumbs Down to those who didn't read the beginning and proceeded to say that Harper is too girly for a boy.

    This is a tricky one.. I see your dilemma! For the record, I adore Elias, and I think both Harper and Jasper {both of which I also adore lol} sit really well with him. Each sibset feels timeless yet has a freshness that is lovely, and the combos are all strong, handsome and kind.

    I think I *just* prefer sibset #1. I like Elias & Jasper and Elias & Harper fairly equally, so that actually isn't the basis of my decision.. I just prefer the flow and feel of Elias Finley Jasper to Elias Finley Harper, the former feels more congruent and smooth to me. I also slightly prefer Harper Nathaniel Grey to Jasper Nathaniel Grey, as Jasper and Nathaniel paired together has always felt slightly 'wishy washy' to me.

    Such a hard decision Aurora! All of the names are lovely by the way

    I will choose sibset 2.

    Reason 1: I simply prefer Jasper as a first name over Harper, because Jasper vascillates between being number one and number two on my own personal list.

    Reason 2: Jasper is less trendy than Harper. (though that may change once the twi-lovers start having children :/)

    Reason 3: I think Elias Finley Harper flows better than Elias Finley Jasper.

    And Harper is definitely masculine!

    The second set is better.

    Jasper and Harper both flow well with Nathaniel Grey. But Elias Finley Jasper doesn't flow very well, and Elias Finley Harper does.

    Or Finley Elias Grey and Jasper Nathanial Harper

  • I definitely prefer Harper and Elias. Harper seems more classy to me, and I've never been much of a fan of Jasper (brings to mind kind of a dopey cowboy type for me saying yee haw).

    Harper and Elias also feel like they have more of the same vibe, and I feel that Harper Nathaniel Grey is a very handsome name.

    Set 2:

    Jasper Nathaniel Grey & Elias Finley Harper

    Elias is one of my favorite names as it is my grandfather's name as well as my cousin's name. I've always liked the name Jasper as well. I really love the flow of both of these names which is surprising to me because I normally do not like 2 middle names.

    Elias Finley Jasper sounds great.

    1.

    Harper Nathaniel Grey

    & Elias Finley Jasper

    I def prefer number 1, although I like them both in the end it is really up to you because there is nothing wrong with either of them. I picked 1 though because I ♥ the first name Harper and I really wish people here in the states didn't start using it on girls....it makes me mad! IMO 1 looks right to me I don't know why it just does! :)
