TBH I think they're both overdone, poncey and naff (sorry - you did ask!).

Try Jonathan. Or Russell.

Max

Servalan · 31/10/2008 23:43

Max. Without a doubt.

Never liked the name Harvey.

Max

Breizhette · 31/10/2008 19:41

Max.

artichokes · 31/10/2008 19:40

Neither but really, really, really not Harvey.
Harvey was Jordan's choice.
I say no more.

CuppaTeaJanice · 31/10/2008 19:39

Max. Popular but cool.

Salleroo · 31/10/2008 19:36

PS It's got nothing to do with his disabilities, it's just chavvy like her.

Salleroo · 31/10/2008 19:35

Max - great name.

Harvey reminds me of Jordan's oldest boy and Old men.

RachieB · 31/10/2008 19:27

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.

Max for me

UmMwahahahaaaaa · 29/10/2008 19:24

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

LuLuBai · 29/10/2008 19:23

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

yarooo · 29/10/2008 19:16

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

LuLuBai · 29/10/2008 19:14

Love Max. Every Max I have ever met has been gorgeous.

annasmami · 29/10/2008 18:46

Both way too popular for me.
