i think Weinstein ruined this name for the near future.

Well it's not as bad as Jayden...

I prefer Jayden, at least Jay for short is kind of instinctive. With Harvey, ''harr'' sounds ridiculous.

I know a lovely lad called Harvey so have a nice association with it.
It’s not getting much love on here though!!
Names are very much personal choice and you go with what you like.

Harvey's OK, not tacky (used to be considered quite posh).

I like Harvey especially years ago when it was considered quite posh

I liked it until people reminded me it was Katie Price's son's name

White Rabbits (from the classic film), or Harvey Keitel.I only knew one Harvey in real life and he most definitely was not posh!

I like Harvey as a name but then I work with a chap called Harvey (he's in his early 30s) and he's just the loveliest person, so helpful and polite. It's hard not to have a good association.

Also Harvey is my most favorite film ever.

Weinstein?

It’s Ok.

Please be aware of how people will pronounce that name. Some people drop their haitches, and the name will sound like "Aarvy". If you like that, go ahead.

Makes me think of Katie price and so solid crew.

I know a lovely little boy called Harvey.

Weinstein is not the first thing I think of when I hear the name 😳.

I like the name. I like names that you don't hear too often and I only know one Harvey so that's a plus for me!

It’s nice. Reminds me of Harvey Specter. I used to look after a couple of little boys called Harvey at one point but I don’t know any now. I really don’t see any reason whatsoever that it would be considered ‘tacky and awful.’ It’s just a normal boys name.

It's an okay name for a dog.

I really like Harvey, it has positive associations for me too, from my childhood - lovely lad with that name who’s grown up into an even lovelier man

Kids won't think of Harvey Weinstein and adults who do make the connection, will make it once and move on. I think its a nice name.


I have seen my name (uncommon but not unique) on these threads with comments adamant they will get referred to as x y z or random old celeb, it's never happened, definitely not by my school friends, if adults did think it they never said anything, obviously.

I quite like it. I know a super one in his 20s. He’s quite posh, so it has those vibes to me.
