don't like Max for some reason - Harvey I think - although slightly chavvy imo - but much better than Harley

Max is cool.
Harvey is a 1970s cop with a mustache (I used to know one exactly like that, back in the 1970s when I was 6yo)

Not a huge fan of either - I know one of each and neither of them are particularly nice boys - but if I had to choose I'd say

Max

i'd expect a harvey to be wearing hair gel and too-big jeans rolled up

his mum would hope he'd go to stage school

I think Johnny Vaughan's dog might be called Harvey.

Like both and Harvey is our ds's middle name.

It was on my list anyway (have liked it since MC Harvey from So Solid Crew to my shame ), and then we found that it is the 'family' middle name as dh has William Harvey as an ancestor (slightly more illustrious ).

Stage school, pah. Straight to X Factor for us

I wonder if it just certain areas that they are popular in. I work in a primary school and i don't know one single Max or Harvey.
