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.

We assume you all have drugs and weapons

haha Oops..looks like people other than myself think Harper is being overused! Good call, everyone!!!!

Saying congratulations when someone has a baby? If you don’t like the name, don’t say anything at all!

Hannah and Harper Hader – what mouthfuls!

Congrats on the new little one nonetheless!🙂

BEST WISHES. HARPER IS GETTING TO BE A VERY POPULAR NAME

I have to admit to a huge crush on Bill!! Total genious in Superbad!! Congrats to Bill and his family🙂

I am with you Chelsea, i have a huge crush on him. Love it when he does that old man reporter guy, and of course Stefan from the news. Congrats!

i think hannah hader is worse than harper

Have yall ever thought that maybe they like the name Harper and that is why the choose it? I am 50 – and since I was a little girl I liked the names Harper and Olivia. All of my friends said they were horrible names, and I did not name either one of my daughters those names because of that. Now, I wish I had. A name becomes popular because people like it and use it. Why would you name your child something you didn’t like?

If they like the name, they like the name. People bitch regardless and would do so even more if it was a unique choice. Oh well. I’m sure Bill and his wife couldn’t care less about the public’s opinion.

We have Harper Beckham, Harper Spade, Harper Burtka-Harris, Harper Grohl, Harper Lockwood, Harper Rhimes, Harper Simon, Harper Smith Harper Vedder, and Harper Weyman.

All celebrity baby Harpers!!! That’s quite popular among celebs more so then I think any other name!

I don’t mind the name but I am def more into names that are not overly used and this def now is one of them!

I clicked on this out of sheer curiosity while waiting for my dinner to finish baking. I wanted to see which STAR the headling was referring to even though I know better. Have no idea who Bill Hader is but I like the names Harper and Hannah. Guess I’m out of the loop!

Such mean judgemental people on here. So sad. A big CONGRATS to the Hader family on welcoming another precious little life into this world and for naming her whatever the heck they wanted!!!

I think they chose the names because with the last name Hader the girls initials are ‘HaHa’

(HArper HAder and HAnnah HAder.) Just a thought.🙂

desilu…newsflash…Harper’s popularity will result in it becoming “super common boring.”

Awww, congrats to them! And I personally like the name!

Congrats to them and their little one. But yes, Harper is the new Ava, everyone i know who named their kid Ava a few years ago thought they were being so original and picking a name no one had heard of. As with Ava, i don’t even think it is a hugely attractive name (makes me think of ‘what are you harping on about?’) i think people just think it sounds trendy.

and btw, people are allowed to have opinions. do you really think these parents are so insecure that a group of internet strangers not liking their child’s name will in any way put a crimp in their day? get over yourselves. we don’t (yet) live under the thought police. people are allowed to have opinions, it doesn’t hurt anyone. i wouldn’t care at all if people didn’t like my children’s names. it’s their opinion….

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?
