Harper is too trendy for me, and I've mostly heard it as a girl's name...there's Harper Lee, and then some celebrity recently named her daughter Harper. I love Jude Étienne, though...very handsome, sophisticated, and French-sounding! The trendy, ambiguously gendered Harper just doesn't go. I would just make the name Jude Étienne...I'm not a huge fan of more than one middle name anyhow.

No offense, but if you want to honor your cousin Stephanie, using the French/male version of her name as a second middle name is about the most obnoxious/pretentious way you could do it. I don't think a second middle name is much of an honor at all. Why not give your child the first name of Stephen?

That being said, I like all three names but would never ever use Harper for a boy. Also, Harper and Jude are both semi-unisex, and English-speakers might not know if Etienne is a female or male name, so I would use a pairing that has at least one definitively male name.

beautiful! i've always loved Harper and Jude, and they sound amazing together. and i love Etienne. very unique and sweet because it's in honor of your cousin. i love it! good luck!

For a girl right? I love Harper for a girl.
