Bill Hader Welcomes Daughter Harper

The name Harper is starting to get over used. It’ll go the way of Ella back in 2000 and Lola around 2005 and start to disappear. Seems every 5 years or so, a name becomes super popular, then you never hear of it again. Harper Hader is a bit of a mouthfull. It sounds like you “hate” Harper when you say it out loud.

Only the 100th celeb to name their child Harper. Gimme a break. REAL ORIGINAL.

Wow, either people are ripped for choosing unusual names or ripped for choosing common names. It’s a nice name and it’s a new child that is loved. Good God.

Agree with Pamela and Harper is an adorable name!

What a cute name! I love it! Congratulations!

anyone hating on the name Harper must have super common boring names! Get over it, it’s a cute name! What did you name your daughter’s? Emily, Jessica and Ashley? Blah!

Harper is a cute name but hollywood celeb’s have no original ideas anymore, seems as though everyone is naming their daughter Harper.

wtf on what he named his child?!?!??! it’s a beautiful name and he is the greatest! seriously…how many jennifers, marys, ashleys, etc do you know? it’s all about what the parents want to name their child and harper is a “gawjus” name! how sweet does it go w/ Hader? love it and love you, Bill! what a talented person you are!

I have an original name and so does my son. I’m sick of the name Harper, too. I remember I refused to give my son my first choice name because a co-worker had named her son that name around the time I found out I was pregnant. Granted it’s his child and he has every right to name her what he wants and I wish him the best. Doesn’t mean I not sick of the name Harper. I have 3 coworkers who named their daughters Harper before the Beckhams. Enough already.

Overused, I agree. An old friend named her daughter Harper a few years ago, and it was cute. Then Beckhams name theirs Harper… Oh its popular… Now it’s like, pick another please!

Harper isn’t a bad name, but common, yes. However, I don’t think it could possibly be more annoying than Jayden, Cayden, Brayden, Aiden, Hayden, and all the other ridiculous spellings I’ve seen for these names! I even know someone with a Zaiden! Get real pepole!

Not that the names Rebecca, Sarah, Michelle, Amanda, Ashley etc. haven’t been used over and over and over. Please folks. Let people name their kids whatever they choose.

Really? You are complaining about someone naming their child Harper because it’s so “common”, yet you complain about odd names, such as Apple because it’s too weird! You people just like to complain!

Congratulations to the Hader family on their lovely new baby, Harper!

I love the names, they don’t match up with the last name though.

Guaranteed mistake on calling their names out at graduation for sure!

He’s so freaking hilarious. Love him.

Do you need to lie down, Maid?

I don’t have a problem with the name Harper. It’s fine.

I think Harper Hader and Hannah Hader are a mouthful, but they are not my children so who am I to judge?

I do love Bill though. and I love his wife’s “Just give her to me”

I agree w everyone who is sick of Harper now. Add olivia, grace, isabella, emily, emma, et al. To the list.

And I don’t need to lie down. Ha

Bill Hader is amazing though

too true olive. it may be, as i say, partly because all the friends i have who named their kids that and they ALWAYS tell you as if they are the ones who have discovered this ‘unusual’ name. it’s ok to give your kid a popular name, just own up to it, don’t pretend you are so unbelievably alternative because you put an ‘A’ in front of the name Eva instead of an ‘E’ etc. i mean if you named your son Tom that would be just as fine, but you wouldn’t walk around as if your son was the first boy ever to be called Tom would you?

JM- Actually, some celebs DO read this blog and HAVE expressed being hurt and/or saddened by the horrible comments about their name choices. One of the most recent examples would be Jenna von Oy, who said it made her sad to see so many people criticizing her daughter’s name. Soleil Moon Frye also expressed hurt over the horrible things people said about her second daughter’s name when her birth was announced.

So don’t assume that celebs don’t care what a bunch of strangers say! I don’t think it’s about being “insecure” either. When you’ve thought so long and hard about what to you is a beautiful name, you’re bound to feel sad when so many people trash it!

Maggie and Bill are really sweet people. They have an awesome family. I bet most people writing on this blog never had to name a child. I hope they don’t read blogs like this and if they do, that they don’t care about others’ opinions. Harper is a beautiful name. All the best to them!

Poor dumb Traci.

Telling a group of people to lay off the derogatory (one r, sweetie) comments and then calling them idiotic morons looks a bit silly, now don’t you think?
