Arlo?

Makes me think of that Margot Asquith / Jean Harlow quote about the t being silent.

Harlow is a very unattractive place in East Herts

It's not a name - Harlan is albeit American and the rapist in Thelma and Louise

A friend has a baby called Harlan - don't know if that is much better mind to be honest (I always want to finish the name by putting a "d" on the end!)

Ha ha. I came on this thread to offer advice about the Princess Alexandra maternity - where I had my baby! It's in Harlow. As you were...

Because Brooklyn isn't bad enough. :(

I don't like Harlow as a name at all.

If she likes surnamey names, Marlowe (like the playwright) might be one for her to consider?

wellnowthenmardybum · 19/10/2014 20:56

Any suggestions for names which do go?

They really don't go. I really don't like Harlow at all - Emmeline is such a pretty name though.

No, they don't go. Harlow is horrendous and Emmeline is lovely. Anyone anywhere near London/the South will just think of the place, which isn't very nice!
