11 Jul 11 - 01:40 PM (#3185547) Subject: RE: BS: It's my turn for the brain cell From: gnu Since they named her Harper perhaps the meant "Severn" but coulnn't spell it? And, will "Harpie" be a suitable nickname? Good LORD! The thread title is bang on. |

His real name was something like Richard Hagworth III. I believe Tertius is Latin for "third." I suspect the first and the second were quite well off. |

11 Jul 11 - 09:56 PM (#3185791) Subject: RE: BS: It's my turn for the brain cell From: Richard Bridge I think, apart from the nicknaming possibilities, that "Harper" is quite a nice name, redolent of Anne McCaffrey heroines. Seven, on the other hand...! |

12 Jul 11 - 12:16 AM (#3185835) Subject: RE: BS: It's my turn for the brain cell From: gnomad I'm with Richard Bridge on this one (got to say that, it doesn't happen all that often) Harper sounds OK, though it does offer some unkind possibilities in the nickname line. They might even have chosen it after Harper Lee, though somehow one would doubt it. Mind you, Seven is beyond me, but when I think of some of the abominations that other "celebs" have perpetrated it seems pretty innocuous. It has no obvious drawbacks of mispronunciation or association, and should be easy enough to spell. |

12 Jul 11 - 05:38 AM (#3185929) Subject: RE: BS: It's my turn for the brain cell From: GUEST,livelylass Harper Seven makes me think of a "divorced workaholic tough female boss" character from some US series about surgeons or lawyers or... She drinks too much to help her deal with the stress that such a high powered career causes, and of course she has a problematic relationship with her Mother who whines that she never gets in touch. There's an attractive (in a roguish way) male colleague in the picture who wants to get closer to her, but she's all wounded and defensive plus she's married to her job, so the foreplay can continue for three series.. I expect there's an ugly freckly little kid she spawned with the ex (a modern superdad in cords) and she never gets to his birthday party, bla bla.. |

And hundreds of pea-brains will follow suit. There'll be hordes of poor little tots called Harper enrolling at nursery school! |
