Personal experiences with the name Harper: | Edit. My son is named Harper, and we know both boys and girls with the name. It works well for both genders. I prefer it for a boy. I think it's been taken over by the girls. I know a little boy named Harper and it fits him to a T. He has an older brother named Jackson.
