Harley Buckley - is it silly?

[laylastar84]

Ive recently posted about which names were best, i like
Leo & Joel but Dh Loves Harley which i like but not sure its the best with our surname!
What is your honest opinion is it do able or asking for trouble? Thanks all.

I like Harley but it doesn't sound 'right' to me tbh sorry. Maybe its a bit sing-songey and that's why I don't like it.

With Buckley I'd be thinking of names that don't have an 'ey/ee' sound at the end

Harley is like Barclay, Oakley, Bailey etc. IMO its a brand name.

Buckley is lovely, a village in North Wales. Sounds quite olde englishe as a boys name. Is Buckley your surname or an alternative to Harley?

Arthur Buckley sounds grand!

Not the best....

It's a bit sing song, I don't think it goes.

It sounds like a rubbish motorbike.

Leo or Joel would be nicer :)

Nice name but maybe not with Buckley. As has been said, too many ey/ee sounds.

I love your surname though!!! I wonder if you're irish?

Fir boys, we have dylan, cathal, jake, darragh, noah ethan and jonah. oh and Alex

Yes, it is silly IMO

Yes, it's silly.

Not keen on any with Buckley - however that's just my opinion.

How about

Jonah Buckley ?

Arthur Buckley ?

Joseph Buckley ?

Heath Buckley ?

Noah Buckley ?

Dylan Buckley ?

Tobias or Toby Buckley?

They're kind of stuck with Buckley as it is their surname.

LOL - misread the start of your post :o

I remembered your last post and I still think Joel Buckley is a lovely name.

Leo Buckley is nice but it doesn't have the same ring to it. Harley Buckley is a little bit too rhymey. But Joel is perfect imo.

Joel Harley Buckley sounds best. You and dh both get to uses your favourite names.

John Buckley

Ed Buckley

Dan Buckley

Strong male names sound good.

Thank you for all your replies! Its so hard deciding on a name. I also think Harley Buckley sounds silly I now have proof to show DH!

Think we all said we preferred Joel or Leo.
I like
Adam
Aiden
Dan
Tom
Chris
all go well with your surname.

Yes it's silly.

Harley just doesn't sound like the name of a grown man to me.

I don't think it does sit right with your surname. (And I'd assume that one/both parents are/were greboes, sorry).

I like the name Harley, but with Buckley is not so good.

Heath Buckley is a good suggestion, similar nature meaning to Harley, which is also an old english name meaning pasture/field.

Joel or Leo sound much better IMO

I think Leo Buckley sounds lovely!

Though if your DH is really stuck on Harley, can I throw in... Harlan.

Yes especially since the only Harley I know is a girl!

I prefer Leo Buckley to joel
