Harvey or Hunter?

Our baby is due in 4 weeks time, if it's a girl she'll be Anna Noelle Reekie. Stuck between boys names, either Harvey James Reekie or Hunter James Reekie... thoughts please as Hunter is a "love it or hate it" name!

Lala - please don't be annoyed at the responses

according to the MN opinions my DD1 has a name thats too common, DD2 has a name thats 'chav' and DD3 has a name that should only be used for a boy

keep them both until he's here and choose whichever suits him best

Aww,Don't take it as a personal affront lala,names are a very individual thing nd go with the one you like.FWIW dd has a very popular name that many don't like but I love it.

Enjoy your new baby

(Ps I LOVE your girls name,Anna is a beautiful name)

Hunter is a gladiator, not a child. Harvey is OK but not sure that Harvey Reekie sounds good, too many E sounds. What about James Harvey Reekie instead?

needanameforboy · 21/11/2009 20:23

I would choose Harvey out of those two names.

CuppaTeaJanice · 21/11/2009 20:22

Hunter = Gladiators

Harvey = Jordan's son

Any other options? The 2 syllables starting with H works well, just perhaps not those 2 particular names.

sorry am not keen on either as well

MrsBadger · 21/11/2009 19:21

Neither if at all possible,

if you have no choice but to use one then use Harvey

If you thought 'Harv' was bad think what Hunter will be shortened to...

JANEITEisntErudite · 21/11/2009 19:17

Neither, sorry. How about Gabriel? Anna is lovely and classic.

seeker · 21/11/2009 19:15

Just think about him being called "Harv"........

MavisEnderby · 21/11/2009 19:15

Neither,sorry.
